أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيِّ بْنِ قَمْعَةَ بْنِ خِنْدِفَ أَبَا بَنِي كَعْبٍ هَؤُلَاءِ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as say- ing: I saw 'Amr bin Luhayy bin Qam'a bin Khindif, brother of Bani Ka'b, dragging his Intestines in Fire.

Sa'id bin Musayyib explained" al-bahira" as that animal which is not milked but for the idols. and none amongst the people milks them, and" as-sa'iba" as that animal which is let loose for the deities. Nothing is loaded over it, and Ibn Musayyib narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) stated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I saw 'Amr bin 'Amir al-Khuzili dragging his intestines in fire and he was the first who devoted animals to deity.
