Satan wants to repent and Moses wants to repent with Auj bin Unuq.

The Devil wants to repent

       In one book it is explained that Satan came to meet Moses, saying: "O Moses, you are the one sent by Allah. and He has spoken with you directly." Then Moses said: "What do you say, who are you and what do you want from me?" 

       Then the Devil said: "I am the Devil! O Moses I want you to tell your Lord that a creature wants to repent to Him." Then Moses prayed to Allah s.w.t.and said what was spoken by Satan, and then Allah s.w.t.had sent down a revelation that means: "O Moses, O Moses, tell him that I will accept his request on condition that he (Devil) bow down in Adam's grave, that if he prostrates, I will forgive all his sins." 

       After Moses received a revelation from Allah s.w.t. then Moses continued to tell Satan about what God had commanded. 

       As soon as the Prophet Moses finished telling all the commandments of Allah s.w.t.then the arrogant and arrogant Devil said: "O Moses, O Moses, I did not bow down to Adam when he was living in heaven, how I was going to bow down to him after he died." Such is the arrogant nature of Satan that remains with his stubbornness, even though he knows that the fire of hell will eat him but he still does not want to believe in Allah. 

       In a hadith, it is said that Allah sends Satan out of hell every 1000 years, and removes Adam from heaven, and ordered Satan to bow down to Adam. Because of his haughty attitude he still refused to bow down, the Devil was returned to hell.....

       'Auj bin Unuq is a human who is up to 4,500 years old. His height at the time of standing is like the height of water that can drown the country in the time of Noah a.s. The height of the water cannot exceed the knee. Some say he lives in the mountains. When he was hungry, he would stretch his hand out to the bottom of the sea to catch fish and roast it with the heat of the sun. If he is angry over a country, he will piss on it until the people of that country drown in their urine. 

       When Moses and his people were lost in the tea garden, Auj intended to destroy Moses with his people. Then 'Auj came to examine the residence of the soldiers of the Prophet Moses, and he found some of the dwellings of the soldiers of the Prophet Moses was not far from his place. Then he pulled out the mountains around him and placed them on his head so that it was easy to be thrown to the soldiers of the Prophet Moses. 

       Before he could 'Auj threw the mountains that were held on his head to the soldiers of the Prophet Moses, God has sent the bird hud-hud with a diamond stone and placed it on a mountain that is held up by 'Auj. With the power of God, the diamond penetrates the mountain held by 'Auj until it reaches the nape of the neck. 'Auj was unable to remove the diamond, finally 'Auj perished because of the diamond stone. 

       It is said that the height of the Prophet Moses was forty cubits and the length of his staff was also forty cubits and struck his staff at 'Auj right about his eyes and feet. When it fell 'Auj by the will of God s.w.t.and finally could not run from death even though his body was tall and had great strength.
