Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Will you relieve me from Dhul-Khalaşa?" (Dhul-Khalaṣa) was a house belonging to the tribe of Khath'am [and there used to be worshipped the Tâghiyas (idols) (of Ad-Daus, Khath'am and Bajaila tribes)] and it was also called Al-Ka'ba Al-Yamâniya. So, I proceeded with one hundred and fifty cavalrymen from the tribe of Aḥmas, who were excellent knights. It happened that I could not sit firm on horses, so the Prophet (ﷺ) stroke me over my chest till I saw his finger-marks over my chest, he said, "O Allâh ! Make him firm and make him a guiding and rightly guided man." Jarîr proceeded towards that house, and dismantled and burnt it. Then he sent a Messenger (ﷺ) to Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) informing him of that. Jarîr's Messenger (ﷺ) said, By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till I had left it like an emaciated or scabby camel (i.e. completely marred and spoilt)." (Jarîr added,) " The Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allâh to bless the horses and the men of Ahmas five times." [4:262-O.B]
