Ya`la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at the time when he is being inspired divinely."
Ya`la added "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Al-Ja'rana, shaded with a cloth sheet (in the form of a tent) and
there were staying with him, some of his companions under it, suddenly there came to him a bedouin
wearing a cloak and perfumed extravagantly. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What is your opinion
regarding a man who assumes the state of Ihram for `Umra wearing a cloak after applying perfume to
his body?" `Umar signalled with his hand to Ya`la to come (near). Ya`la came and put his head
(underneath that cloth sheet) and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) red-faced and when that state (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) was
over, he said, "Where is he who as already asked me about the `Umra?" The man was looked for and
brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "As for the perfume you have applied to your body,
wash it off your body) thrice, and take off your cloak, and then do in your `Umra the rites you do in
your Hajj."
When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty
amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to
the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had
got. The Prophet (ﷺ) then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I
find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into
groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through
me." Whatever the Prophet (ﷺ) said , they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours
to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he
said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said,
"If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be
willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet (ﷺ) to your
homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way
through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar
are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other
garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body
and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you
should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar).

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي رِجَالاً الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ ". فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا، وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ، أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا. فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ". قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا.
When Allah gave Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty,
the Prophet (ﷺ) started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the
blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and
gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I
gathered, the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The
learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some
people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he gives (of the
booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract
their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet (ﷺ) with you
to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the
Ansar) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are satisfied." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said to them. "You will find
others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the
Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, the Prophet (ﷺ) confronted the tribe of Hawazin while there
were ten-thousand (men) besides the Tulaqa' (i.e. those who had embraced Islam on the day of the
Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When they (i.e. Muslims) fled, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O the group

Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got down (from his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then the
pagans were defeated. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e.
Emigrants) and did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e. were dissatisfied) and he

" رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى. قَدْ أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ ".
When it was the day of Hunain, Prophet favored some people over some others (in the distribution of
the booty). He gave Al-Aqra' one-hundred camels and gave Uyaina the same, and also gave other
people (of Quraish). A man said, "Allah's Pleasure was not the aim, in this distribution." I said, "I will
inform the Prophet (about your statement)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Moses,
for he was troubled more this but he remained patient."
When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along
with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) had with
him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) alone. The
Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and
said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!"
Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he
dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were defeated, and on
that day the Prophet (ﷺ) gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and
the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are
called, but the booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gathered them in
a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept
silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things
and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes." Then the
Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e.
Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"

they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they

killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive.
When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should kill his
captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive."
When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both
his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done."

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya under the command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to
obey him. He (i.e. the commander) became angry and said "Didn't the Prophet (ﷺ) order you to obey me!"
They replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect fire-wood for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make a fire."
When they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)." So they intended to do that and started holding
each other and saying, "We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet (ﷺ) from the fire." They kept
on saying that till the fire was extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "If they had entered it (i.e. the fire), they would not have come out of it
till the Day of Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he enjoins what is good."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu Musa and Mu`adh bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent each of them to administer a
province as Yemen consisted of two provinces. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "Facilitate things for the
people and do not make things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient (both of you) with the people,
and do not be hard on them) and give the people good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of
them went to carry on his job. So when any one of them toured his province and happened to come
near (the border of the province of) his companion, he would visit him and greet him. Once Mu`adh
toured that part of his state which was near (the border of the province of) his companion Abu Musa.
Mu`adh came riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him sitting, and the people had
gathered around him. Behold! There was a man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu`adh said to
Abu Musa, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has reverted to
Heathenism after embracing Islam." Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed." Abu Musa
replied, "He has been brought for this purpose, so come down." Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till
he is killed." So Abu Musa ordered that he be killed, and he was killed. Then Mu`adh dismounted and
said, "O `Abdullah (bin Qais)! How do you recite the Qur'an ?" Abu Musa said, "I recite the Qur'an
regularly at intervals and piecemeal. How do you recite it O Mu`adh?" Mu`adh said, "I sleep in the
first part of the night and then get up after having slept for the time devoted for my sleep and then
recite as much as Allah has written for me. So I seek Allah's Reward for both my sleep as well as my
prayer (at night).

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَشْرِبَةٍ تُصْنَعُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ " وَمَا هِيَ ". قَالَ الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ. فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي بُرْدَةَ مَا الْبِتْعُ قَالَ نَبِيذُ الْعَسَلِ، وَالْمِزْرُ نَبِيذُ الشَّعِيرِ. فَقَالَ " كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ". رَوَاهُ جَرِيرٌ وَعَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ.
That Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari said that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent him to Yemen and he asked the Prophet (ﷺ)
about certain (alcoholic) drink which used to be prepared there The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are they?"
Abu Musa said, "Al-Bit' and Al-Mizr?" He said, "Al-Bit is an alcoholic drink made from honey; and
Al-Mizr is an alcoholic drink made from barley." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All intoxicants are prohibited."
That the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his (i.e. Abu Burda's) grandfather, Abu Musa and Mu`adh to Yemen and said to
both of them "Facilitate things for the people (Be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult
(for people), and give them good tidings, and do not repulse them and both of you should obey each
other." Abu Musa said, "O Allah's Prophet! In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from
barley called Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All
intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you
recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding
animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for
Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched
a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained
man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has
now turned apostate." Mu`adh said, "I will surely chop off his neck!"

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ طَارِقَ بْنَ شِهَابٍ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى أَرْضِ قَوْمِي، فَجِئْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُنِيخٌ بِالأَبْطَحِ فَقَالَ " أَحَجَجْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ ". قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " كَيْفَ قُلْتَ ". قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ إِهْلاَلاً كَإِهْلاَلِكَ. قَالَ " فَهَلْ سُقْتَ مَعَكَ هَدْيًا ". قُلْتُ لَمْ أَسُقْ. قَالَ " فَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَاسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ حِلَّ ". فَفَعَلْتُ حَتَّى مَشَطَتْ لِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ بَنِي قَيْسٍ، وَمَكُثْنَا بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me (as a governor) to the land of my people, and I came while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
was encamping at a place called Al-Abtah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have you made the intention to
perform the Hajj, O `Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "What did you
say?" I replied, "I said, 'Labbaik' and expressed the same intention as yours." He said, "Have you
driven the Hadi along with you?" I replied, "No, I did not drive the Hadi." He said, "So perform the
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and then the Sai, between Safa and Marwa and then finish the state of Ihram." So
I did the same, and one of the women of (the tribe of) Banu-Qais combed my hair. We continued
follow in that tradition till the caliphate of `Umar.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Mu`adh bin Jabal when he sent him to Yemen. "You will come to the people of
Scripture, and when you reach them, invite them to testify that none has the right to be worshipped
except Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, then tell them that
Allah has enjoined on them five prayers to be performed every day and night. And if they obey you in
that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Sadaqa (i.e. rak`at) to be taken from the rich
amongst them and given to the poor amongst them. And if they obey you in that, then be cautious!
Don't take their best properties (as Zakat) and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is
no screen between his invocation and Allah.
When Mu`adh arrived at Yemen, he led them (i.e. the people of Yemen) in the Fajr prayer wherein he
recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil.' A man amongst the people said, "(How) glad the mother of
Abraham is!" (In another narration) `Amr said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and he (led the
people) in the Fajr prayer and recited: 'Allah took Abraham as a Khalil. A man behind him said,
"(How) glad the mother of Abraham is!"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent us to Yemen along with Khalid bin Al-Walid. Later on he sent `Ali bin Abi Talib
in his place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to `Ali, "Give Khalid's companions the choice of either staying with you
(in Yemen) or returning to Medina." I was one of those who stayed with him (i.e. `Ali) and got several
Awaq (of gold from the war booty.

Chapter 61: Sending 'Ali and Khalid رضي الله عنهما to Yemen - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Buraida:
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مَنْجُوفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلِيًّا إِلَى خَالِدٍ لِيَقْبِضَ الْخُمُسَ وَكُنْتُ أُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا، وَقَدِ اغْتَسَلَ، فَقُلْتُ لِخَالِدٍ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى هَذَا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ " يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَتُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا ". فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " لاَ تُبْغِضْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي الْخُمُسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated `Ali, and `Ali had
taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see
this (i.e. `Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet (ﷺ) I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you
hate `Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the
Khumlus."
`Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin
H`Abis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his
companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the
Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the
evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a
shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Be afraid of Allah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear
Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I chop his
neck off?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who
offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I
have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the
Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of
this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it
will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of
the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be
present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."

Jabir said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Ali to keep the state of Ihram." Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib
returned (from Yemen) when he was a governor (of Yemen). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'With what
intention have you assumed the state of Ihram?' `Ali said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention as
that of the Prophet." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), 'Offer a Hadi and keep the state of Ihram in
which you are now.' `Ali slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."

The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him.
When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his
Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet (ﷺ) had a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen
with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "With what intention have you
assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us?" `Ali said, "I assumed the lhram with the same intention
as that of the Prophet (ﷺ) ." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Keep on the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانٌ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْخَلَصَةِ وَالْكَعْبَةُ الْيَمَانِيَةُ وَالْكَعْبَةُ الشَّأْمِيَّةُ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

In the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance there was a house called Dhu-l-Khalasa or Al-Ka`ba Al-
Yamaniya or Al-Ka`ba Ash-Shamiya. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhu-l-
Khalasa?" So I set out with one-hundred-and-fifty riders, and we dismantled it and killed whoever was
present there. Then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him, and he invoked good upon us and Al-
Ahmas (tribe) .

Jarir said to me, The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhu-l-Khalasa?" And that was a
house (in Yemem belonging to the tribe of) Khatham called Al-Ka`ba Al Yamaniya. I proceeded with
one-hundred and-fifty cavalry from Ahmas (tribe) who were horse riders. I used not to sit firm on
horses, so the Prophet (ﷺ) stroke me over my chest till I saw the mark of his fingers over my chest, and
then he said, 'O Allah! Make him (i.e. Jarir) firm and one who guides others and is guided on the right
path." So Jarir proceeded to it dismantled and burnt it, and then sent a messenger to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
The messenger of Jarir said (to the Prophet), "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave
that place till it was like a scabby camel." The Prophet (ﷺ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five
times.
