Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you not relieve me of Dhu al-Khalasah?" It was an idol-house among the Khath'am tribe, called the Ka'bah of Yemen. So I set out with one hundred and sixty horsemen of Ahmas, and they were people of horses, while I could not sit firmly on a horse. He (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my chest, until I saw the mark of his (peace and blessings be upon him) fingers on my chest, and said: "O Allah, make him firm and make him one who guides and is rightly guided." Then I set out toward it (the idol-house), broke it down and burned it, and sent a messenger to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to inform him of it. Jarir's messenger said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, I did not come to you until I had left it like a mangy camel (desolate)." Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for blessing upon the horses of Ahmas and its men five times.
