Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that al-Uzza was a devilish woman who used to appear on three acacia trees in Batn Nakhla. Then, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Makkah, he said to Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him): “Go to Batn Nakhla, where you will find three acacia trees. Cut down the first of them at its root.” Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) went there and uprooted one tree, and when he returned, the Prophet ﷺ asked him, “Did you see anything?” Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “No.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Go and cut down the second one at its root.” Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) obeyed the command. When he returned, the Prophet ﷺ again said, “Go and cut down the third tree at its root as well.” When Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) reached there, he saw her with her hair disheveled, placing both hands on her shoulders and gnashing her teeth, and behind her stood Dabiyah al-Sulami, who was her doorkeeper. Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
«ياعز كفرانك لا سبحانك اني رايت الله قد اهانك»
“O al-Uzza, disbelief is upon you, not praise. For I have seen that Allah has humiliated you.”
Then he struck her with his sword and her head was split in two. He looked and saw that she was a heap of charcoal. Then Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) cut down the said tree and also killed Dabiyah the doorkeeper. Then he came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and reported it. The Prophet ﷺ said: “That was al-Uzza, and henceforth there will be no al-Uzza for the Arabs.”
Takhrij al-Hadith:
إسناده ضعیف۔
Its chain is weak.
Haythami says it was narrated by al-Tabarani, and in its chain the narrator Yahya ibn al-Mundhir is weak.
