Prophetic (PBUH) Commentary on the Qur'an - 12th Rabi al-Thani 1432 (17th
March 2011)
Narrated Ibn Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
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.
