13～14世紀のトルコのスーフィーの伝説「キセクバシュ・デスターニ」（「切られた首の物語」）には、以下のように書かれている。アリは、首をはねられた男に出会うが、その頭はまだコーランを読んでいた。彼の妻子は''ディヴ''に捕まり、子供は食べられていた。アリは''ディブ''を倒すために冥界に降り立つ。そこでアリは、500人のスンニ派信者を捕らえている''ディヴ''を発見した。''ディヴ''はメッカとメディナの聖地とイスラムの遺産を破壊する、とアリを脅した。戦いの末、アリはディブを倒し、囚人を解放し、食われた子供を助け、ムハンマドの助けを借りて切断された頭を生き返らせることに成功する<ref>Gerhard Doerfer, Wolfram Hesche Türkische Folklore-Texte aus Chorasan Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 1998 ISBN 978-3-447-04111-9 S. 62</ref>。

''Div'' appear within treatises on the [[Occultism (Islam)|occult]]. Their depictions often invoke the idea of Indian deities or are directly identified with them.<ref>Travis Zadeh ''Commanding Demons and Jinn: The Sorcerer in Early Islamic Thought'' Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag, 2014 p-142-149</ref> To enslave a ''div'', one must pierce their skin with a needle or bind them on iron rings. Another method relies on burning their hair in fire, to summon them.<ref name="Encyclopædia Iranica"/> 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. In some stories, Divs are said to be able to bestow magical abilities upon others. Once, a man encountered a ''div'', and the ''div'' offered him to learn the ability to speak with animals. However, if the man tells someone about this gift, he will die.
