2772. It was reported from Jarīr who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Will you not relieve me of Dhul-Khalaṣah?'" So he went to it, and burnt it down, then he sent a man from Aḥmas whose Kunyah was Abū Arṭāh to the Prophet ﷺ to give him the good news. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
2772 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ؟» فَأَتَاهَا فَحَرَّقَهَا، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَحْمَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَشِّرُهُ يُكْنَى أَبَا أَرْطَاةَ

Banū Khath'am had built a temple for themselves which they called Al-Ka'bah Al-Yamāniyyah. The house itself was named Khalaṣah and the idol as Dhūl-Khalaṣah. When Jarīr embraced Islam after the Conquest of Makkah, he fulfilled this mission.
