From the commentary on the Book of Tawheed by Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab may Allaah have mercy on him, 9th-10th, Lesson,

By Shaykh, the ‘Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu ‘Abdirrahmān Yahya bin ‘Ali Al-Hajūri – may Allāh preserve him – on the 26th, Jumaadah Al-Oulaa, 1443H

Chapter: Whoever seeks blessing in trees or stones and their likes, and the statement of Allaah: 

(أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرى)

"Have you then considered Al-Lat, and Al-'Uzza (two idols aqof the pagan Arabs). And Manaat (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?"

[An-Najm: 19-20]

And from Abi Waaqid Al-Laithi, he said: “We left with the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ to Hunain and we had recently left Kufr, and the Mushrikeen had a Sidrah tree they used to gather around and hang their swords on it called Dhaat Anwaat. So we passed by a Sidrah; So we said: “O Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, make for us a Dhaat Anwaat just like they have a Dhaat Anwaat”, so the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “Allaahu Akbar, verily it is the Sanan. You said by the One whose hand my soul belies as the Children of Israa’eel said to Musaa:

 (ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ) 

"Make for us an ilahan (a god) as they have aliha (gods)." He said: "Verily, you are a people who know not (the Majesty and Greatness of Allah and what is obligatory upon you, i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone, the One and the Onl God of all that exists)."

[Al-A’raf:138]

"You will surely carry out the Sanan (ways) of those before you."

[Reported by At-Tirmidhi and he authenticated it]
