Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Are the idols that 'Amr ibn Luhayy brought from the idols of the people of Nuh?
Answer:
'Amr ibn Luhayy al-Khuza'i was the king of the Hijaz. He went to Sham. He was originally on the Hanifiyyah, on the religion of Ibrahim, but when he went to Sham and found them worshipping idols, he accepted this and found it pleasing. So it entered his heart that this was the truth. He asked them to give him idols to take with him, to take them to the Hijaz. They told him that the idols were buried with you; the flood had buried them, and they showed him their locations. He dug them up and distributed them among the tribes.
