3521. Narrated Sa'id bin A-Musaiyab: Al-Bahira was a she-camel whose milk was spared for the idols and other deities, and so nobody was allowed to milk it. As-Sā'iba was a she-camel which they (i.e., infidels) used to set free in the names of their gods so that it would not be used for carrying anything. Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I saw 'Amr bin 'Amīr bin Luhaī Al-Khuzā'ī dragging his intestines in the (Hell) Fire, for he was the first man who started (the tradition of As-Sawā'ib) (setting free she-camels in the names of their false gods—idols and other false deities).'"

Arabic text

٣٥٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ الْبَحِيرَةُ الَّتِي يُمْنَعُ دَرُّهَا لِلطَّوَاغِيتِ وَلَا يَحْلُبُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالسَّائِبَةُ الَّتِي كَانُوا يُسَيِّبُونَهَا لِآلِهَتِهِمْ فَلَا يُحْمَلُ عَلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ لُحَيٍّ الْخُزَاعِيَّ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ.»
