Fishburn and Hughes: "In the Koran, the name of an idol mentioned in chapter 71: 21 (Noah). The context reads: 'And Noah said: "Lord, my people disobey me and follow those whose wealth and offspring will only hasten their perdition. They have devised an outrageous plot, and said to each other: 'Do not renounce your gods. Do not forsake Wad or Sowa or Yaghuth or Ya'uq or Nasr.' They have led numerous men astray. You surely drive the wrongdoers to further error." And because of their sins they were overwhelmed by the Flood and cast into the Fire. They found none to help them beside Allah.'" (212)
