The Ramaḍān Traditions - The Twentieth Tradition

الحَدِيثُ العِشرُونَ
عَن عَبدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ، «دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَحَولَ الكَعبَةِ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ نُصُبًا ، فَجَعَلَ يَطعُنُهَا بِعُودٍ كَانَ بِيَدِهِ، وَيَقُولُ، «جَاءَ الحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ البَاطِلُ إِنَّ البَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا» «جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبدِئُ البَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ»
رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسلِمٌ
The Twentieth Tradition
On the authority of ‘Abd-Allāh bin Mas‘ūd who said, ‘The Prophet ﷺ entered Mecca, whilst the Ka‘bah was surrounded by three hundred and sixty idols. (The Prophet) ﷺ thereby began to prod them with a wooden stick that was in his hand whilst saying, ‘Truth has come and falsehood has perished; for verily falsehood is bound to perish.’ [17/al-Isrā: 81] ‘Truth has come and falsehood neither originates nor restores.’ [34/Sheba: 49]
