#عجائب_وغرائب (18)

A fox urinated on his idol, so he broke it and became Muslim Among the interesting stories is what Ibn Katheer mentioned in his book Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah (7/362), and others also reported it, about the noble Companion Rashid ibn ‘Abdi Rabbih As-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him). Before Islam, he used to worship an idol called Suwa‘. One day, he saw two foxes urinating on it. He said: أربٌّ يبول الثعلبان برأسه؟! ... لقد ذلَّ من بالت عليه الثعالب “A god whose head foxes urinate on?! Humiliated is the one that foxes urinate on!” Then he attacked the idol and broke it. After that, he went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and accepted Islam. The Prophet asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Ghawī ibn ‘AbdIl-‘Uzza (Misguided, servant of Al-‘Uzza).” The Prophet said, “Rather, you are Rashid ibn ‘Abdi Rabbih (Rightly Guided, servant of the Lord).” ____ The series thus far, may Allāh facilitate its completion ⤵️ https://t.me/madrasatuna/5582
