Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Verse range: 38:83
(Iblis) said: "By Your might, then I will surely mislead them all, except Your true servants amongst them.'' This is like the Ayat:
أرءيتك هذا الذى كرمت على لين أخرتن إلى يوم القيمة ﻻحتنكن ذريته إﻻ قليﻼ
(Iblis) said: "See this one whom You have honored above me, if You give me respite until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring all but a few!'' (17:62) These few are the ones who are excepted in another Ayah, which is:
إن عبادى ليس لك عليهم سلطن وكفى بربك وكيﻼ
Verily, My servants -- you have no authority over them. And All-Sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian. (17:65)
