English: Al-Fals continued to be worshipped until the advent of the Prophet, at which time โAli ibn-abi-Talib was dispatched to destroy it. โAli destroyed the idol and carried away therefrom two swords called Mikhdham and Rasub (the same two swords which โAlqamah ibn-โAbadah had mentioned in his poetry), which al-Harith ibn-abi-Shamir, king of Ghassan, had presented al-Fals. โAli brought them to the Prophet who wore one of them and gave it back to him. It was the sword which โAli was always wont to wear
