    136. That you wanted to make me into a prostrator and Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) into an object of prostration, yet I am a worshipper and Sufi of thousands of years, while Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) has not yet started to worship.

    137.Iblis mentioned about progeny because he knew that Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) is a Prophet, and he had no power to mislead a Prophet or those from his progeny who would be Prophets and special saints.

     For this reason he said "but a few". It should be remembered that the devil is wreaking revenge of our Father (i.e. Hazrat Adam On whom be peace) on us. Therefore all of us should at no time be unmindful of him.

    138. This tells us that not even the devil spoke lies in the presence of Allah Almighty. Whatever he wanted to do he said openly. Thus, the one who talks lies in front of Allah Almighty is worse than the devil.

    (17:62) He then continued: “Look! This is he whom You have exalted above me! If you will grant me respite till the Day of Resurrection I shall uproot the whole of his progeny[75] except only a few.”

    Ala-Maududi

    (17:62) He then continued: “Look! This is he whom You have exalted above me! If you will grant me respite till the Day of Resurrection I shall uproot the whole of his progeny[75] except only a few.”

    75. That is, I will uproot them from the high position of divine vicegerency which demands steadfastness in obedience. Their removal from that high position is just like the tearing of a tree from its roots.

    (62) [Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy[760] his descendants, except for a few."

    [760]- By tempting them and leading them astray.
