Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6366

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا جَرِيرُ أَلاَ تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ بَيْتٍ لِخَثْعَمَ كَانَ يُدْعَى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةِ ، قَالَ : فَنَفَرْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِئَةِ فَارِسٍ ، وَكُنْتُ لاَ أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ ، وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا. قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقَ فَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، رَجُلاً يُبَشِّرُهُ يُكْنَى أَبَا أَرْطَاةَ مِنَّا ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْنَاهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ ، فَبَرَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ ، وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ.

It was narrated from Qais bin Abi Hazim, that Jarir bin 'Abdullah Al-Bajali said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to me: 'O Jarir, will you not rid me of Dhul-Khalasah?' - a house belonging to Khath'am that was called the Yemeni ka'bah. I went to it with one hundred and fifty horsemen of Ahmas. It used to be that I could not sit firmly on a horse, and I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He struck me on the chest with his hand and said: 'O Allah, make him sit firmly, and make him steadfast and rightly-guided."' He said: "He went out and burned it with fire, then Jarir sent a man who was known as Abu Artah, who was one of us, to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to tell him the good news. He said: 'I did not come to you until we left it like a scabby camel.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) invoked blessings upon the horses and men of Ahmas five times."
