The Holy Quran 71:23 — Surah Nuh

Arabic text

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا

Translation

"They say (to others), 'Never forsake your gods! Do not forsake Wadd, Suwa, Yaghooth, Ya'ooq and Nasr!'" (These were names of their idols.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The bequest to others not to listen: that is, remain firm in support of your deities and do not be led astray by Nuh. It is said that for hundreds of years each one would leave a bequest to his children and descendants that no one should fall for the deception of this old man, Nuh ﵇, and that no one should depart from the religion of his forefathers.
