Once Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) outlined to a group of Sahaabah the various types of shayaateen and their activities.
Mudhish is the name of the shaitaan whose occupation it is to foster greed and worldly lust in the Ulama.
Hadeeth is the name of the shaitaan whose duty it is to call people away from Salaat and involve them in sport and laziness.
Zul Banoon is the name of the shaitaan who operates in the  market-places. Night and day he lives in the market-places. It is his
function to encourage deception, fraud, robbery, and all other haraam trade practices.
Bitr is the name of the shaitaan who causes people to exceed the limits in mourning and despondency during times of adversity and
grief. They pull at their hair and beat their breasts. Such actions are common with the Shiahs on the occasion of religious mourning
festivals.
Manshoot is the shaitaan who propagates falsehood, lies, gossip, slander, insult and similar other sins.
Waasim is the name of the shaitaan who invites people to fornication,
A'war is the shaitaan who teaches people to steal.
Walhaan is the shaitaan who is appointed to stand by the Muslim when he makes wudhu. He attempts to distract the Mu'min while
even making wudhu. It is therefore essential to refrain from conversation while making wudhu.
