Fun fact: the Arabic word for "madman" is majnun which literally means "possessed by a jin" (demon). That's the word Mohammed used to describe himself after his first experience with the entity in the cave (source: Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, p. 106). He was so traumatized by the experience that he repeatedly tried to kill himself (ibid.; see also Sahih Bukhari 6982).

Sometimes first impressions are correct...
