Sirat Ibn Hisham 104
What the Arabs used to do with the idols
[ مَنَاةُ وَسَدَنَتُهَا وَهَدْمُهَا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَتْ مَنَاةُ لِلْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ، وَمَنْ دَانَ بِدِينِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ، عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْمُشَلَّلِ بِقُدَيْدٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَقَالَ الْكُمَيْتُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَحَدُ بَنِي أَسْدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ مُدْرِكَةَ:: وَقَدْ آلَتْ قَبَائِلُ لَا تُوَلَّى مَنَاةَ ظُهُورَهَا مُتَحَرَّفِينَا وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَيْهَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ فَهَدَمَهَا. وَيُقَالُ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
Translation
✧ Manāt, her custodians, and her destruction Ibn Isḥāq said: Manāt belonged to the Aws and the Khazraj and to those of the people of Yathrib who followed their religion. It was on the seacoast in the direction of al-Mushallal at Qudayd. Ibn Hishām said: Al-Kumayt b. Zayd, one of the Banū Asad b. Khuzaymah b. Mudrikah, said: Tribes have sworn that they will never turn their backs to Manāt while they are withdrawing in war. This verse is from a poem of his. Ibn Hishām said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb to her, and he destroyed her. It is also said: ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib.
