Sheikh Mûsa Sor ("Red Moses"; also Sheikh Mûs or Mūsē Sōr) is a Yazidi saint. He is also called the Lord of Air and Wind. Yazidis venerate him as the patron saint of lung and rheumatic diseases. A subdivision of the Adani Sheikh lineage is also named after him.
‘Ebdî Resho (‘Ebd Resh) was a companion of Sheikh Musa Sor.
Musa Sor is associated with winds and the air. He is invocated during winnowing so that winds can help separate grains from hay.
