    • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 7:176:
      وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِيَ آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ
      وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ذَّلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
      And tell them the story of the one to whom We handed down our Signs, yet he sloughed it off, and the Devil was walking behind him. He was among the tempted.
      If We had willed it, We would have raised him high, but he clung to the earth and was chasing his hankerings. His kind is that of a dog: if you set upon it, it pants, and if you leave it, it pants. This is the kind of the people who have disbelieved in our Signs. Tell them those tales, that they may think.
