English translation
6333. Narrated Jarīr: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to me, "Will you relieve me from Dhul-Khalaṣa?" Dhul-Khalaṣa was a Nusub (an idol, etc.) which the people used to worship and it was called Al-Ka'bah Al-Yamāniya. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I am a man who can't sit firm on horses." So he stroked my chest (with his hand) and said, "O Allāh! Make him firm and make him a guide and well-guided man." So I went out with fifty (men) from my tribe of Aḥmas. (The subnarrator, Sufyān, quoting Jarīr, perhaps said, "I went out with a group of men from my nation.") And came to Dhul-Khalaṣa and burnt it, and then came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have not come to you till I left it like a camel with a skin disease." The Prophet ﷺ then invoked good upon Aḥmas and their cavalry (fighters). [See Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 4357]
