Narrated Ibn `Abbas: All the idols which were worshipped by the people of Noah were worshipped by the Arabs later on. As for the idol Wadd, it was worshipped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa’ was the idol of (the tribe of) Murad and then by Ban, Ghutaif at Al-Jurf near Saba; Yauq was the idol of Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyr, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala.’ The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to (prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names. The people did so, but the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping them.
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا إبراهيم بن موسى، أخبرنا هشام، عن ابن جريج، وقال، عطاء عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما صارت الأوثان التي كانت في قوم نوح في العرب بعد، أما ود كانت لكلب بدومة الجندل، وأما سواع كانت لهذيل، وأما يغوث فكانت لمراد ثم لبني غطيف بالجرف عند سبا، وأما يعوق فكانت لهمدان، وأما نسر فكانت لحمير، لآل ذي الكلاع. أسماء رجال صالحين من قوم نوح، فلما هلكوا أوحى الشيطان إلى قومهم أن انصبوا إلى مجالسهم التي كانوا يجلسون أنصابا، وسموها بأسمائهم ففعلوا فلم تعبد حتى إذا هلك أولئك وتنسخ العلم عبدت.
