In one narration the words are: There were idols in the Ka'bah. I began to lift the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I was not able to. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted me, and I broke them. If I had wished, I could have reached the sky.
Ahmad and his son recorded it, and Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar recorded it. After the words "until we hid among the houses" he added: "After that, they were not placed on it again", meaning those idols were not placed there. The narrators of all of these reports are thiqat (trustworthy).
