81. 1. It is mentioned in a hadith that after the conquest of Makkah, when the Prophet ﷺ entered the Ka'bah, there were three hundred and sixty idols there. He had a stick in his hand, and he would strike the idols with the tip of the stick while reciting (وَقُلْ جَاۗءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۭ) 17. Al-Isra:81) and (قُلْ جَاۗءَ الْحَـقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيْدُ) 34. Saba:49) (Sahih Bukhari).
