عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ وَكَانَ بَيْتًا فِي خَثْعَمَ يُسَمَّى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَّةَ فَنَفَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي سَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا فَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ وَبَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ بَشِيرًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ فَبَرَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Will you not relieve me from Dhu al-Khalasah? It was a house of the Khath'am tribe, which was called the Ka'bah of Yemen. I went towards it with one hundred and seventy horsemen from the Ahmas tribe. They went there and set it on fire, burning it down. Then Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a bearer of good news to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he came and said: By the One Who has sent you with the truth! I have come to give you glad tidings, leaving that house like a mangy camel. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for blessings five times for the horsemen and foot soldiers of the Ahmas tribe.
