Amīr-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has stated on page 40 of his book, Faizān-e-Bismillāĥ [the 176-page publication of Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami]: ‘Satan has numerous progeny who have been assigned various duties. ‘Allāmaĥ Ibn Ḥajar ‘Asqalānī Shāfi’ī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـرَّبَّـانِی has reported that Amīr-ul-Mūminīn Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq Al-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘Satan’s progeny comprises of 9 devils:
