Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I saw ‘Amra ibn ‘Amr ibn Luhayy al-Khuza’i dragging his intestines in the Hellfire. He introduced the custom of releasing animals on behalf of false gods.”
In another narration, the Prophet said, “He was the first to change the religion of Ishmael and set up idols.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ لُحَيٍّ الخُزَاعِيَّ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ
وفي رواية أخرى قال إنَّهُ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ غيَّر دِينَ إسْمَاعِيلَ فَنَصَبَ الْأَوْثَانَ
