Sirat Ibn Hisham 106
What the Arabs used to do with the idols
[ فِلْسٌ وَسَدَنَتُهُ وَهَدْمُهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَتْ فِلْسُ لِطَيِّئٍ وَمَنْ يَلِيهَا بِجَبَلَيْ طَيِّئٍ، يَعْنِي سَلْمَى وَأَجَأَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إلَيْهَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَهَدَمَهَا، فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا سَيْفَيْنِ، يُقَالُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا: الرَّسُوبُ، وَلِلْآخِرِ: الْمِخْذَمُ. فَأَتَى بِهِمَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَهَبَهُمَا لَهُ، فَهُمَا سَيْفَا عَلِيٍّ ؓ. [ رِئَامٌ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ لِحِمْيَرَ وَأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ بَيْتٌ بِصَنْعَاءَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: رِئَامٌ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثَهُ فِيمَا مَضَى
Translation
✧ [Fils, its custodians, and its destruction] Ibn Isḥāq said: Fils belonged to Ṭayyiʾ and those adjacent to it at the two mountains of Ṭayyiʾ, meaning Salmā and Ajaʾ. Ibn Hishām said: Some of the people of knowledge related to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ sent ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib to it, and he destroyed it. He found in it two swords, one of which was called al-Rasūb and the other al-Mikhdham. He brought them to the Messenger of God ﷺ, who gave them to him as a gift, and they are the two swords of ʿAlī ؓ. [Riʾām] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥimyar and the people of Yemen had a house in Ṣanʿāʾ called Riʾām. Ibn Hishām said: I have already mentioned its account earlier.
