Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I saw Hell and its different portions were consuming each other and saw `Amr
dragging his intestines (in it), and he was the first person to establish the tradition of letting animals
loose (for the idols).

Bahira is a she-camel whose milk is kept for the idols and nobody is allowed to milk it; Sa'iba was the
she-camel which they used to set free for their gods and nothing was allowed to be carried on it. Abu
Huraira said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I saw `Amr bin 'Amir Al-Khuza`i (in a dream) dragging his
intestines in the Fire, and he was the first person to establish the tradition of setting free the animals
(for the sake of their deities)," Wasila is the she-camel which gives birth to a she-camel as its first
delivery, and then gives birth to another she-camel as its second delivery. People (in the Pre-lslamic
periods of ignorance) used to let that she camel loose for their idols if it gave birth to two she-camels
successively without giving birth to a male camel in between. 'Ham' was the male camel which was
used for copulation. When it had finished the number of copulations assigned for it, they would let it
loose for their idols and excuse it from burdens so that nothing would be carried on it, and they called
it the 'Hami.' Abu Huraira said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying so."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and said, "O people! You will be gathered before Allah barefooted,
naked and not circumcised." Then (quoting Quran) he said:--
"As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise We have undertaken: Truly we shall do
it.." (21.104)
The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will
be Abraham. Lo! Some men from my followers will be brought and then (the angels) will drive them
to the left side (Hell-Fire). I will say. 'O my Lord! (They are) my companions!' Then a reply will come
(from Almighty), 'You do not know what they did after you.' I will say as the pious slave (the Prophet (ﷺ)
Jesus) said: And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them. When You took me up. You
were the Watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things.' (5.117) Then it will be said, "These
people have continued to be apostates since you left them."
