According to ibn-Durayd, Bajar was an idol which the Azd as well as such neighboring tribes of the Tayyiโ€™ and the Qudaโ€™ah worshipped during the Jahillyah days. It is also pronounced Bajir

Al-Yaโ€™bub is the idol of the Jadilah of the Tayyiโ€™. Previously they had a different idol; but the banu-Asad took it away from them. Consequently they adopted al-Yaโ€™bub in its stead. Said โ€˜Abid They adopted al-Yaโ€™bub in the place of their former god; Be still, therefore, O Jadilah, and abstain from food and drink

Al-Fals continued to be worshipped until the advent of the Prophet, at which time โ€˜Ali ibn-abi-Talib was dispatched to destroy it. โ€˜Ali destroyed the idol and carried away therefrom two swords called Mikhdham and Rasub (the same two swords which โ€˜Alqamah ibn-โ€™Abadah had mentioned in his poetry), which al-Harith ibn-abi-Shamir, king of Ghassan, had presented al-Fals. โ€˜Ali brought them to the Prophet who wore one of them and gave it back to him. It was the sword which โ€˜Ali was always wont to wear

โ€˜Adi was, therefore, the first to violate the sanctity of al-Fals. Henceforth whenever the custodian took in a stray beast he was not allowed to keep it as the property of the idol; on the contrary, it was taken away from him

it so happened that โ€˜Adi ibn-Hatim had, at that same day, offered a sacrifice before al-Fals, and saw what Malik had done. As he sat with a few companions discussing the incident, he trembled with fear and said, Watch what will befall Malik this day. But several days passed and nothing happened to Malik. Consequently โ€˜Adi renounced the worship of al-Fals as well as that of the other idols and embraced Christianity, a devotee of which he remained until the advent of Islam, when he became a Muslim

The last of the banu-Bawlan to hold its custody was one called Sayfi. One day he caught a milch-camel which belonged to a certain woman of the banu-โ€™Ulaym of the Kalb tribe a neighbor of a nobleman, Malik ibn-Kulthum al-Shamaji, and drove it along until he brought it to the confines of al-Fals. Thereupon the neighbor of Malik called upon him and told him how Sayfi had taken away her milch-camel. On hearing her story he jumped upon the bare back of an unsaddled horse, took his spear, and followed after Sayfi. He overtook him by al-Fals and found the milch-camel tied within its enclosure. Addressing Sayfi, he said, Let go the milch-camel of my neighbor. Sayfi replied, But it is the property of thy Lord! Malik again said, Let it go. Sayfi replied, Wilt thou violate the sanctity of thy Lord? Exasperated, Malik threatened Sayfi by pointing his spear against him. Thereupon, the latter untied the camel and set it free. Malik took it back and delivered

I was told by al-โ€™Anazi abu-โ€™Ali on the authority of โ€˜Ali ibn-al-Sabbah that Hisham ibn-Muhammad abu-al-Mundhir once related I was told by abu-Basil al Taโ€™i,โ€™ on the authority of his uncle โ€˜Antarah ibn-al-Akhras, that the Tayyiโ€™ had an idol called al-Fals. It was a red rock, in the form of a man, projecting in the center of their mountain, Aja which was black. They were wont to worship this rock, present their offerings unto it, and slaughter their sacrifices before its ascent. No man who was afraid and was seeking refuge would come to it without finding safety, and no stray beast would enter its confines without finding protection. The Beast would also become the property of the idol, sacred and taboo. Its custody was in the hands of banu-Bawlan while Bawlan himself was the first to institute its worship

(He had conquered Mecca, drove the Jurhumites out of the city, and took over the custody of the House.) He had an oracle of the jinn whose nickname was abu-Thumamah. One day the oracle addressed โ€˜Amr saying Make haste, get thee out of Tihamah Accompanied by peace and luck. โ€˜Amr replied Aye, aye, there shall be no delay, Nothing shall hold me back. Thereupon the oracle rejoined; To the shores of Juddah make thy way; There thou shalt find idols in fine array; With thee to Tihamah take them back, Let nought alarm thee

The position which these statues, now become idols, occupied in the worship of the people, as ibn-al-Kalbi had related on the authority of ibn-Salih, who in turn had related on the authority of ibn-โ€™Abbis continued to wax strong until the time of Noah (Nuh), โ€˜O the son of Lamech (Lamak) the son of Methuselah (Matushalab) the son of Enoch, whom God sent as a prophet. He was, then, four hundred and eighty years old. For a period of one hundred and twenty years I lie went about calling the people back to God, but they disobeyed him and believed him not. Thereupon God commanded him to build the ark. Noah completed the ark and entered therein when he was six hundred years old. And the flood prevailed upon, and covered, the whole earth, and all, except Noah and those who were in the ark with him, were drowned and perished. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. Two thousand and two hundred years intervened between Adam and Noah. The flood washed down these

Another century followed during which people venerated and respected those statues more than they did during the first century. Then a third century followed, and the people said, Our forefathers venerated these statues for no other reason than the desire to enjoy their intercession before God. Consequently they worshipped them, and became far game in disbelief. Thereupon God sent unto them the Prophet Idris, who is Enoch (Akhnukh) the son of Jared the son of Mahaleel the son of Cainan. Idris called upon the people to repent and warned them, but they believed him not and hearkened not unto his voice. Therefore God uplifted him to a place on high

Then it came to pass that a relative would visit the grave of his brother, uncle, or cousin, whatever the case might be, pay his respect to it, and walk around the statue for a while. This practice lasted throughout the first century following the death of those five persons. The statues were made during the time of Jared (Yarid) the son of Malialcel (Malilaโ€™il) the son of Cainan (Qinan) the son of Enos (Anush) the son of Seth the son of Adam

Then One of the children of Cain addressed their relatives saying, O ye who are bereaved! Shall I make unto you five statues after the image of your departed relativesโ€™? I can readily, although I cannot impart life to them. Thereupon he carved unto them five statues after the image of their departed relatives, and erected them over their graves

Thereupon one of the children of Cain (Qabil), the son of Adam, addressing his brethren, said, O children of Cain! Verily the children of Seth have a circuit (dawar) which they circumrotate in veneration, but ye have none. Consequently he carved for them an idol, and was, therefore, the first to make graven images for worship

Once upon a time the Jarm and the banu-Jaโ€™dah quarrelled over a water well called al-โ€™Aqiq and came to the Prophet seeking his decision. He decided in favor of the Jarm. There upon Muโ€™awiya ibn-โ€™Abd-al-โ€™Uzza ibn-Dhiraโ€™ al-Jarmi said When the crowds before the Prophet assemble, I am the brother of the Jarm, as ye well know. If ye are not satisfied with the judgment of the Prophet, I am, and with his words and verdict I am well content. Have ye not seen that the Jarm have prevailed, While your father is squatting amid the lice in al-Uqaysirโ€™s vale? And when a gift of wheat is offered he would say, โ€˜Give it unto me, without the lice, and be rewarded there-with; For I am one of the poor men of the Hawazin tribe.โ€™ Ye are trot of these people; yea! Ye are not the lowest nor the least. But ye are like the two small fingers of the hand, Which have been excelled in length by the other fingers

It had three divination arrows the enjoiner (al-amir), the forbidder (al-nahi), and the vigilant (al-mutarabbis). As Imruโ€™-al-Qays stood before the idol, he shuffled the arrows three times and three times he drew the forbidden. Thereupon he broke the arrows and hurled them at the idol exclaiming, Go bite thy fatherโ€™s penis! Had it been thy father who was murdered, thou wouldst not have forbidden me avenging him. He then raided the banu-Asad and defeated them. Consequently no more sortilege was practiced before dhu-al-Kahlasah until the advent of Islam when it was destroyed. Imruโ€™-al

Abrahah al-Ashram had built in Sanโ€™a, a church which he called al-Qalis. He built it of marble and employed in the construction the best of gild and wood. Having completed the building of the church, he wrote to the king of Abyssinia saying, I have built to you a church the like of which no one has ever built. I shall not let the Arabs alone until I divert their pilgrimage away front the house to which they go and turn its course to this church. The news reached one of those on whose authority an intercalation is undertaken (nasaโ€™at al-shukur), who dispatched two of his followers, ordering them not to return until they had defecated within the church. The two men went and did what they were ordered. When the news reached Abrahah he became angry, and asked, Who is it who dared do such a thingโ€™? He was told, Some of the people of the Kaโ€™bah did that. Thereupon he became furious and set out against the Kaโ€™bah or the head of his Abyssinian hordes and elephants. The

A certain man of the Juhaynah named โ€˜Ahd-al-Dar ibn-Hudayb once said to his people, Come let us build a house (to be located in a spot in their territory called al-Hawraโ€™) with which we would rival the Kaโ€™bah, thereby attracting unto us many of the Arabs, They deemed the suggestion very grave and refused to heed his behest. Thereupon he said I had wished that a house be raised, Free of iniquity and removed from sin. But those who, when called upon to face a crisis, Steal away and tilde in rite outskirts of Qawdam, Have demurred and refused my request. They clamor and cry, and insist that no one should give them orders, And when entreated they turn away--some withdraw like the mute and the dumb. They withhold their charity and conceal every insult Among their kin, as the mark of the brand on the mule is hid

The banu-al-Harith ibn-Kaโ€™b had in Najran a Kaโ€™bah which they venerated. It is the one which al-Aโ€™sha mentions in one of his odes. It has been claimed that it was not a Kaโ€™bah for worship, but merely a hall for those people whom the poet mentioned. In my opinion, this is very likely the case, since I have not heard of the banu-al-Harith ever mentioning it in their poetry

The Arabs were passionately fond of worshipping idols. Some of them took unto themselves a temple around which they centered their worship, while others adopted an idol to which they offered their adoration. The person who was unable to build himself a temple or adopt an idol would erect a stone in front of the Sacred House or in front of any other temple which he might prefer, and then circumambulate it in the same manner in which he would circumambulate the Sacred House. The Arabs called these stones baetyls (ansab

Among their idols, the Quraysh also had Isif and Naโ€™ilah. On being transformed into petrified form, they were placed by the Kaโ€™bah in order that people might see them and be warned. Finally, as their origin became remote and, therefore, forgotten, and idol worship came into vogue, they were worshipped with the other idols. One of them stood close to the Kaโ€™bah while the other was placed by Zamzam

Whenever the lineage of a new-born was doubted, they would offer a sacrifice to it Hubal and then shuffle the arrows and throw them. If the arrows showed the word pure, the child would be declared legitimate and the tribe would accept him. If, however, the arrows showed the words consociated alien, the child would be declared illegitimate and the tribe would reject him. The third arrow was for divination concerning the dead, while the fourth was for divination concerning marriage. The purpose of the three remaining arrows has not been explained. Whenever they disagreed concerning something, or purposed to embark upon a journey, or undertake some project, they would proceed to it Hubal and shuffle the divination arrows before it. Whatever result they obtained they would follow and do accordingly

The Quraysh had also several idols in and around the Kaโ€™bah. The greatest of these was Hubal. It was, as I was told, of red agate, in the form of a man with the right hand broken off. It came into the possession of the Quraysh in this condition, and they, therefore, made for it a hand of gold

The Quraysh were wont to venerate al-โ€™Uzza. The Ghani and the Bihilah, too, joined the Quraysh in her worship. The Prophet, therefore, dispatched Khalid ibn-al-Walid, who cut down the trees, destroyed the house, and demolished the idol

They did not, however, hold the same regard, or anything approaching it, for the five idols which were introduced by โ€˜Amr ibn-Luhayy. These are the five idols which God mentioned in the glorious Koran when He said, Forsake not Wadd nor Suwaโ€™, nor Yaghuth and Yaโ€™us and Nasr. This, I believe, was because of their distance from them
