"أَنَّ امْرأَةً كَانَتْ فِى بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَخَذَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَلْقَى فِى قُلُوبِ أَهْلِهَا أَنَّ دَوَاهَا عنْدَ رَاهِبِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَكَانَ الرَّاهِبُ صَوْمَعَةٍ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا يُكَلِّمُونَهُ حَتَّى قَبِلهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَوَسْوسَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ بِهَا فأحْبَلَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الشَّيْطانُ فَقَالَ: الآنَ ثُفْتَضَح فَاقْتُلْهَا وَادْفِنْهَا فَإِنْ أَتَوْكَ فَقُلْ مَاتَتْ وَدَفَنْتُهَا، فَقَتَلَهَا وَدَفَنَهَا، فَأَتَى أَهْلُهَا فَأَلْقَى فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَهَا وَدَفَنَهَا فَأتَوْه فَسأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ: مَاتَتْ وَدَفَنْتُها، فَأَتَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِى أَخَذْتُهَا وَأَلْقَيتُ فِى قُلُوبِ أَهْلِهَا أَنَّ دَوَاهَا عِنْدَكَ، وَأَنَا الَّذِى وَسْوَسْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى قَتَلْتَهَا وَدَفَنْتَهَا فَأطِعْنِى تَنْجُ اسْجُدْ لِى سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَفَعَل، فَهُوَ الَّذِى قَالَ اللهُ - تَعَالَى -: {كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْكَ}.

"A woman among the Children of Israel was seized by the Shaytan, who cast into the hearts of her family that her cure was with a monk in such-and-such a place. The monk lived in a hermitage, and they kept speaking to him until he accepted her. Then the Shaytan came to him and whispered to him until he had relations with her and made her pregnant. Then the Shaytan came to him and said: "Now you will be exposed. Kill her and bury her. If they come to you, say she died and you buried her." So he killed her and buried her. Her family came, and the Shaytan cast into their hearts that he had killed her and buried her. They came to him and asked him, and he said: "She died and I buried her." Then the Shaytan came to him and said: "I am the one who seized her and cast into the hearts of her family that her cure was with you, and I am the one who whispered to you until you killed her and buried her. So obey me and you will be saved: prostrate to me twice." So he did. This is what Allah, the Exalted, referred to: {Like the Shaytan when he says to man, "Disbelieve." But when he disbelieves, he says, "Indeed, I am free of you."}
