It is narrated from Mughira bin Shubal that Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) stated: When I approached Madinah Munawwarah, I made my mount sit down, unpacked my belongings and set them aside, and donned splendid clothes. Then I entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon. People looked at me intently. I asked the man sitting near me whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned me. He replied: Yes, just now he remembered you in very beautiful words. While delivering the sermon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned you and said: From this door or from this path, a man from among the distinguished people of Yemen is about to enter upon you, and on his face is the dignity of kings. Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I thanked Allah Almighty for this honor.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Jarir is among the eminent Companions. His tribe, Bajilah, and the tribe of Khath'am had an idol and a very large idol-house, which was called Dhu al-Khalasah. They used to rival the Ka'bah with it; for this reason, they called the Ka'bah the "Shamite Ka'bah" and their idol-house the "Yamanite Ka'bah."
Sayyiduna Jarir radi Allahu anhu destroyed Dhu al-Khalasah; its mention is coming in the next chapter.
