The submission of the people of al-Ṭāʾif to Abrahah

[ اسْتِسْلَامُ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ لِأَبْرَهَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالُوا لَهُ: أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، إنَّمَا نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ سَامِعُونَ لَكَ مُطِيعُونَ، لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا لَكَ خِلَافٌ. وَلَيْسَ بَيْتُنَا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي تُرِيدُ - يَعْنُونَ اللَّاتَ - إنَّمَا تُرِيدُ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي بِمَكَّةَ. وَنَحْنُ نَبْعَثُ مَعَكَ مَنْ يَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُمْ. [ اللَّاتُ ]: وَاَللَّاتُ: بَيْتٌ لَهُمْ بِالطَّائِفِ كَانُوا يُعَظِّمُونَهُ نَحْوَ تَعْظِيمِ الْكَعْبَةِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَنْشَدَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ النَّحْوِيُّ لِضِرَارِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ الْفِهْرِيِّ:: وَفَرَّتْ ثَقِيفٌ إلَى لَاتِهَا بِمُنْقَلَبِ الْخَائِبِ الْخَاسِرِ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ

Translation

✧ [The submission of the people of al-Ṭāʾif to Abrahah] Ibn Isḥāq said: They said to him: O king, we are only your slaves, listening to you and obeying you; we have no disagreement with you. This house of ours is not the house you want—meaning al-Lāt—you only want the house that is in Makkah. We shall send with you someone to guide you to it, so he passed on from them. [Al-Lāt] Al-Lāt was a house of theirs in al-Ṭāʾif which they used to venerate in the manner of the veneration of the Kaʿbah. Ibn Hishām said: Abū ʿUbaydah al-Naḥwī recited to me from Ḍirār b. al-Khaṭṭāb al-Fihrī: And Thaqīf fled to their Lāt, at the turning point of the disappointed, the loser. This verse is among some verses of his.
