The Five Sons of Iblis: Agents of Evil in Islam

The Roles of Iblis’ Sons in Spreading Corruption and Evil

The five sons of iblis

Mujahid (rahimahullah) said: 

iblis has five sons

He appointed each of them on one of his affairs.

Their names are:

• Thabr,

• al-A’war,

• Musawwat,

• Dasim and

• Zulunbur.

• As for Thabr, he is respon­sible for calamities.

He orders people to rip their clothes, slap their cheeks and make the call of ignorance when stricken by calamity.

• al-A’war is responsible for fornication.

He beauti­fies it and orders others to commit it.

• As for Musawwat, he is responsible for lies.

He hears the news and transfers it to someone else, who in turn, goes to a gathering of people and tells them:

I met a person whose face I know but I do not know his name, he told me such and such.

• Dasim shows a wife’s faults to her husband and makes him angry with them.

• And Zulunbur is responsible for the market place. He sticks his flag therein.

[Ibn Abi ad-Dunya (rahimahullah) in Maka’d ash-Shaytan, 54/35]
