Sahih al-Bukhari #4712
Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
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.
