I use the word "mythology" as the succubus, although enshrined in Christian belief (Lilith, the Lilym) also appears in other tales of folklore that may not have a grounding in the Holy Bible. Although I would not wish to make an assertion without further consulting my research library, it would seem that the cautionary tale of the succubus (or indeed incubus) may indeed precede the Holy Bible in folklore of the British Isles (bearing in mind that tales of misplaced love/lust are a common theme in all cultures).
Your suggestion however, seems like a reasonable one. (although I would need clarity on the Islamic viewpoint, I am not a scholar of Islam). I recall tales of a third wife (between Lilith and Eve) but agiain, would need to consult various libraries.
