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.
