(b) ( shāt .a)meaning "to go and perish", as in the poem of al-A'shā,meaning "It may happen that the hero went and perished with our lances" (namely, killed by mistake).Satanis calledso, because he will go perish for his disobedience to Allah.The term satan (devil, evil one) in the Qur'ān, according to someQur'ānic commentators has four connotations:

4. Umayyah ibn Khalaf, as in the verse,"He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need."(Q. 25:29)
