Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab and Ya’qub ibn al-Sarraj all from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) has said, ‘O people, tyrannical transgression leads its associates to the fire. The first person who committed it against Allah was ‘Unaq, daughter of Adam, the first one that Allah killed was ‘Unaq who, when sitting occupied one acre.

She had twenty fingers each of which had two fingernails like two sickles. Allah made a lion of the size of an elephant, a wolf of the size of a camel and a vulture of the size of a donkey to kill her. Allah has eliminated the transgressing tyrants in their most ideal and peaceful conditions.’” حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (10/284))
