Zalambur (alternate spelling Zalanboor) (Arabic: زلنبور) is one of the five sons of Iblis mentioned by Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. He is a devil who presides over dishonest and fraudulent business transactions. Said to have four brothers: Awar (اعور or لأعوار), Dasim (داسم), Sut (مسوط), and Tir (ثبر). Each of them is linked to a different psychological function which they try to encourage in order to prevent humans spiritual development.
