Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Israa : 62
قَالَ اَرَءَیْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِیْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَیَّ١٘ لَئِنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّیَّتَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا
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.
