4356. Narrated Qais: Jarīr رضي الله عنه said to me, "The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Won't you relieve me from Dhūl-Khalāṣa?' And that was a house in (Yemen belonging to the tribe of) Khath'am called Al-Ka'bah Al-Yamāniya. I proceeded with one hundred and fifty cavalrymen from Aḥmas (tribe) who were excellent knights. It happened that I could not sit firm on horses, so the Prophet ﷺ stroke me over my chest till I saw the marks of his fingers over my chest, and then he said, 'O Allāh! Make him (i.e., Jarīr) firm make him a guiding and rightly-guided man.'" So Jarīr proceeded to it, dismantled and burnt it, and then sent a messenger to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. The messenger of Jarīr said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave that place till it was like a scabby camel (i.e., completely marred and spoilt)." The Prophet ﷺ invoked for Allāh's Blessing for the horses of Aḥmas and their men, five times. [See Vol.4., Hadīth No.3020]

4356 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي جَرِيرٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلاَ تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الخَلَصَةِ»، وَكَانَ بَيْتًا فِي خَثْعَمَ، يُسَمَّى الكَعْبَةَ اليَمانِيَةَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ، وَكَانُوا أَصْحَابَ خَيْلٍ، وَكُنْتُ لاَ أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الخَيْلِ، فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ، وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا»، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهَا فَكَسَرَهَا وَحَرَّقَهَا، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ جَرِيرٍ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ، مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ، قَالَ: فَبَارَكَ فِي خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ
