Home Hadith Hadith 4711
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Our Lord Allah will lay bare His Shin, and then all the Believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the world for showing off and for gaining good reputation. Such people will try to prostrate (on the Day of Judgment) but their back swill be as stiff as if it is one bone (a single vertebra).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 439

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying. "May I tell you of the people of Paradise? Every weak and poor obscure
person whom the people look down upon but his oath is fulfilled by Allah when he takes an oath to do
something. And may I inform you of the people of the Hell-Fire? They are all those violent, arrogant
and stubborn people."

All the idols which were worshiped by the people of Noah were worshiped by the Arabs later on.
As for the idol Wadd, it was worshiped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa` was the idol
of (the tribe of) Hudhail; Yaghouth was worshiped by (the tribe of) Murad and then by Bani Ghutaif at Al-Jurf near Saba; Ya`uq was the idol of Hamdan,
and Nasr was the idol of Himyar, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala`. The names (of the idols) formerly
belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to
(prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names.
The people did so, but the idols were not worshiped till those people (who initiated them) had died
and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshiping them.
