Tir (demon)

In Islamic demonology, Tir (ثبر) is one of the five sons of Iblis mentioned in Sahih Muslim.[1] He is a Shaitan who causes calamities and injuries.[2] His four brothers are named: Awar (اعور or لأعوار), Zalambur (زلنبور), Sut (مسوط), and Dasim (داسم). Each of them is linked to another psychological function, which they try to encourage to prevent humans spiritual development.[3]
