The truth has come

It is stated on the authority of Abdullah bin Masood that the
unbelievers of the Quraishhad installed 360 idols in Ka'bah so
strongly that their feet were fixed with lead. When Makkah was
conquered and the Prophet (SAW) entered the Holy Ka'bah, he had a
stick in his hand. With it, he started pointing towards the idols and
reciting this verse: Truth has (now) arrived, and falsehood perished
(SurahAl Isra:81). The idol, to which the Prophet (SAW) pointed on its
front, fell down to its rear side and the idol, to which he pointed
from its rear side, fell down flat on its front side.
