Wadd was an idol worshipped by Banu Kalb in Daumatul-Jandal. It was in a man’s figure representing manly power. Suwa‘ was an idol of Banu Hudhail. It was in a woman’s shape, representing female beauty. Yaghuth belonged to the tribe of Murad, and Ya‘uq in the shape of horse was worshipped by Hamdan.

Hubul, their most famous idol was brought from Syria by ‘Amir bin Lohayy; their own principal idols being Lat, Manat and ‘Uzza.

Commentary:
From time immemorial, man, in his ignorance, has worshipped forces of nature, idols made of wood or stone, and human beings. Noah’s people were steeped in idol worship. They had many idols, the five mentioned in the verse under comment being the most popular. The Arabs, several centuries afterwards, are supposed to have brought them from Iraq; Hubal, their most famous idol, was brought from Syria by ‘Amir bin Lohay; their own principal idols being Lat, Manat and ‘Uzza. Or the Arabs might have named their own idols after the idols of the tribe of Noah as the two peoples were not very distant from each other and there was general intercourse between them. There is nothing impossible or improbable in the two neighbouring idolatrous peoples having identical names for their idols.
