It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a monk used to worship in his hermitage. A woman enticed him towards herself, so that he committed fornication with her and she became pregnant. Then Satan came to him and said: Kill her, for if people come to know of it, you will be disgraced. So he killed her and buried her. Then people came, seized him and began to take him away. While they were still going, Satan came to him and said: It was I who urged you to this sin; now prostrate to me once and I will save you from this calamity. So he prostrated to him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Like Satan, when he says to man: Disbelieve. But when he disbelieves, he says: I am disassociated from you." [Al-Hashr: 16]
