﴿ قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴾

“Said [Iblis]: “Then, O my Sustainer, grant me a respite till the Day when all shall be raised from the dead!””

(He said) Iblis said: (My Lord!) O my Lord! (Reprieve me) give me a respite (till the day when they are raised) from the graves. The wicked one wanted to escape the taste of death.
