“They urinated into the ears of the faithful to make them miss the morning prayers, and made them bald by peeing on their heads. If the faithful opened their mouths too wide when they yawned, demons spat into them. If they started their meals without first reciting the name of Allah, the devils partook of the food with them and contaminated their diet.

If the proper prayer was not recited before copulation, the devils shared in the pleasure, leaving their seed inside the woman’s womb right alongside the man’s: any child born from such congress was more susceptible to influence by jinn.” 

Genies. Totally screwing with you since the dawn of man.
