Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7933 — when the Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah, he found
وَبِهِ : عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَجَدَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ صَنَمًا ، فَأَشَارَ بِعَصَاهُ إِلَى كُلِّ صَنَمٍ ، وَقَالَ : جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا فَيَسْقُطُ الصَّنَمُ ، وَلَمْ يَمَسَّهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, he found three hundred and sixty idols there. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would point with his stick at each idol and say: "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished; indeed falsehood is ever bound to vanish," and the idol would fall (on its face), though he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not even touched it.
