Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Some people were asking Allah's Messenger questions mockingly. A man would say, Who is my father? Another man whose she-camel had gone astray would say, Where is my she-camel? So Allah revealed this Verse in this connection: O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. (5.101)

Abu Huraira said: Allah's Messenger said, I saw `Amr bin 'Amir Al-Khuza`i (in a dream) dragging his intestines in the Fire, and he was the first person to establish the tradition of setting free the animals (for the sake of their deities), Wasila is the she-camel which gives birth to a she-camel as its first delivery, and then gives birth to another she-camel as its second delivery. People (in the Pre-lslamic periods of ignorance) used to let that she camel loose for their idols if it gave birth to two she-camels successively without giving birth to a male camel in between. 'Ham' was the male camel which was used for copulation. When it had finished the number of copulations assigned for it, they would let it loose for their idols and excuse it from burdens so that nothing would be carried on it, and they called it the 'Hami.' Abu Huraira said, I heard the Prophet saying so.

Then (quoting Qur'an) he said:-- As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise We have undertaken: Truly we shall do it.. (21.104) The Prophet then said, The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will be Abraham. Lo! Some men from my followers will be brought and then (the angels) will drive them to the left side (Hell-Fire). I will say. 'O my Lord! (They are) my companions!' Then a reply will come (from Almighty), 'You do not know what they did after you.' I will say as the pious slave (the Prophet Jesus) said: And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them. When You took me up. You were the Watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things.' (5.117) Then it will be said, These people have continued to be apostates since you left them.
