Messenger of Allah ﷺs said to me, "Will you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa? Dhul-Khalasa was a house (of an idol) belonging to the tribe of Khath'am called Al-Kaʿba Al-Yama-niya. So, I proceeded with one hundred and fifty cavalry men from the tribe of Ahmas, 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 his finger-marks over my chest, he said, 'O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and rightly guided man.' " Jarir proceeded towards that house, and dismantled and burnt it. Then he sent a messenger to Allah's Apostle informing him of that. Jarir's messenger said, "By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till I had left it like an emancipated or gabby camel (i.e. completely marred and spoilt)." Jarir added, "The Prophet ﷺ asked for Allah's Blessings for the horses and the men of Ahmas five times." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3020)
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ وَكَانُوا يُسَمُّونَهَا كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ وَكُنْتُ لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فِي صَدْرِي حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَثَرِ أَصَابِعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَكَسَرَهَا وَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ حُصَيْنَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُبَشِّرُهُ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا مِثْلَ الْجَمَلِ الْأَجْرَبِ فَبَارَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ appointed Uthman ibn Affan and Osama ibn Zaid as leaders over Ruqayyah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , during the Battle of Badr. Then, Zaid ibn Haritha came riding on the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the good news. Usamah said, "I heard the cry, so I came out and found that Zaid had brought the good news. By Allah, I did not believe it until we saw the prisoners. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck Uthman with his arrow."
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَلَّفَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ عَلَى رُقَيَّةَ ابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَّامَ بَدْرٍ فَجَاءَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ ؓ عَلَى الْعَضْبَاءِ نَاقَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْبِشَارَةِ قَالَ أُسَامَةُ فَسَمِعْتُ الْهَيْعَةَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا زَيْدٌ قَدْ جَاءَ بِالْبِشَارَةِ فَوَاللهِ مَا صَدَّقْتُ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا الْأُسَارَى فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ بِسَهْمِهِ
