HOW MANY GODS DO YOU WORSHIP

At the early times of Islam, the polytheists tried to make the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) abandons his religion. So, they sent to him Husain bin Al-Mundhir.

When Husain got in, the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “O Husain, how many gods do you worship today?”

Whereupon Husain said: “They are seven; six in the earth and one in the sky.” The Prophet said: “To whom among them do you go during your hope and fear?”

He said: “It is the one who is in the sky.” So, the Prophet said: “If you conceived Islam, I would teach you two words would that benefit you.” [Declared weak by Al-Albani]
