لَأَحْتَنِكَنَّ — Deep Dive

The Verse (Quran 17:62)

قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكَ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَئِن أَخَّرْتَنِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَأَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

“He said: Do you see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me (my death) until the Day of Resurrection, Certainly I will surely seize/destroy his descendants — except for a few.”
