11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from certain individuals of his people from al-‘ Abbas ibn ‘Amir from Ahmad ibn Rizq al- Ghushaniy from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Ashal, Bayya’ al-Anmat who has said the following: “Quraysh would stain the idols around the Ka‘bah with musk and al-‘Anbar. Yaghuth was in front of the door. Ya‘uq was on the right side of the Ka‘bah. Nasr was on its left side. When entering, they would bow down in prostration before Yaghuth and would not go away, but turn around nearby to Ya‘uq, then turn around nearby to Nasr, then say, ‘Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, you have no partner except a partner who is Your partner whom You own and whatever he owns.’ He (the Imam) said that Allah then sent a green fly with four wings. It finished all the musk and al- ‘Amber. Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, revealed this, ‘O people, He has given an example. Listen to it. Those whom you worship besides Allah cannot create a fly even if they all come together for this task. If a fly takes away something from them, they are not able to take it back from the fly. Both the seeker and the ones sought are so weak.’” (22: 37)
