The story of ʿAmr b. Luḥayy and mention of the idols of the Arabs
قِصَّةُ عَمْرِو بْنِ لُحَيٍّ وَذِكْرُ أَصْنَامِ الْعَرَبِ [ رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَجُرُّ قَصَبَهُ فِي النَّارِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيٍّ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: هَلَكُوا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَاسْمُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، وَيُقَالُ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَخْرٍ - يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِأَكْثَمَ بْنِ الْجَوْنِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ: يَا أَكْثَمُ، رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيِّ بْنِ قَمَعَةَ بْنِ خِنْدِفَ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَشْبَهَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْكَ بِهِ، وَلَا بِكَ مِنْهُ: فَقَالَ أَكْثَمُ: عَسَى أَنْ يَضُرَّنِي شَبَهُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، إنَّكَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ، إنَّهُ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ غَيَّرَ دِينَ إسْمَاعِيلَ، فَنَصَبَ الْأَوْثَانَ، وَبَحَرَ الْبَحِيرَةَ، وَسَيَّبَ السَّائِبَةَ، وَوَصَلَ الْوَصِيلَةَ، وَحَمَى الْحَامِي.
Translation
✧ The story of ʿAmr b. Luḥayy and mention of the idols of the Arabs [The Prophet ﷺ saw him dragging his intestines in the Fire] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm narrated to me from his father, who said: I was told that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I saw ʿAmr b. Luḥayy dragging his intestines in the Fire, and I asked him about the people between me and him, and he said: They have perished. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥārith al-Taymī narrated to me that Abū Ṣāliḥ al-Sammān narrated to him that he heard Abū Hurayrah — Ibn Hishām said: the name of Abū Hurayrah is ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir, and it is said his name is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ṣakhr — say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to Aktham b. al-Jawn al-Khuzāʿī: O Aktham, I saw ʿAmr b. Luḥayy b. Qamaʿah b. Khindif dragging his intestines in the Fire, and I have never seen a man more resembling another man than you resemble him, nor him resemble you. Aktham said: Perhaps his resemblance will harm me, O Messenger of Allah? He said: No, you are a believer and he is a disbeliever. He was the first to change the religion of Ismāʿīl, so he set up idols, slit the ear of the baḥīrah, let loose the sāʾibah, joined the waṣīlah, and protected the ḥāmī.
