حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ
قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ
جَرِيرٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ :
" أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ " بَيْتٍ لِخَثْعَمَ كَانَ يُعْبَدُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُسَمَّى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةِ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَيْهِ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِئَةِ رَاكِبٍ ، قَالَ فَخَرَّبْنَاهُ أَوْ حَرَّقْنَاهُ حَتَّى تَرَكْنَاهُ كَالْجَمَلِ الْأَجْرَبِ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَشِّرُهُ بِذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ قَالَ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْنَاهُ كَالْجَمَلِ الْأَجْرَبِ . قَالَ : فَبَرَّكَ عَلَى أَحْمَسَ وَعَلَى خَيْلِهَا وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِي حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا ، وَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Why do you not relieve me from Dhi al-Khalasah?" This was a church in the tribe of Khath'am which was called the Yemeni Ka'bah. So I set out with one hundred and fifty men from Ahmas, all of whom were horsemen. I said to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that I cannot sit firmly on the back of a horse. So the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his blessed hand on my chest until I saw the marks of his fingers on my chest, and he prayed, "O Allah! Grant him firmness and composure, and make him one who guides and is guided." Then I set out, and upon reaching there, I set it on fire. Then I sent a man to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to give him the good news, and he said, "By Him who sent you with the truth, I left it in such a state as if it were a mangy camel." Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for blessings for Ahmas and its horsemen five times.
