أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَأَى الصُّوَرَ فِي الْبَيْتِ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ حَتَّى أَمَرَ بِهَا فَمُحِيَتْ وَرَأَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ بِأَيْدِيهِمَا الأَزْلاَمُ فَقَالَ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِ اسْتَقْسَمَا بِالأَزْلاَمِ قَطُّ

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Mecca, he refused to enter the Kaʿba with idols in it. He ordered (idols to be taken out). So they were taken out. The people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael holding Azlams in their hands. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah curse these people. By Allah, both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams." Then he entered the Kaʿba and said Takbir at its corners but did not offer the prayer in it.
