As Solomon enslaved the devils, same is said to be true about the ''div''. Probably, the legends of the Quran about Solomon are conflated with the legends of the Persian hero [[Jamshid]], who is said to have enslaved the ''divs''.<ref>Eva Orthmann, Anna Kollatz The Ceremonial of Audience: Transcultural Approaches Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 11.11.2019 {{ISBN|978-3-847-00887-3}} p. 155</ref> In later Islamic thought, Solomon is said to have bound both devils and the ''divs'' to his will, inspiring [[Middle East]]ern magicians trying to capture such demons as well.

However, if the man tells someone about this gift, he will die.
