Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me. "Will you relieve me from Dhi-al-Khalasa? " Dhi-al-Khalasa was an idol which the people used to worship and it was called Al-Kaʿba al Yamaniyya. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ I am a man who can't sit firm on horses." So he stroked my chest (with his hand) and said, "O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and well-guided man." So I went out with fifty (men) from my tribe of Ahrnas. (The sub-narrator, Sufyan, quoting Jarir, perhaps said, "I went out with a group of men from my nation.") and came to Dhi-al-Khalasa and burnt it, and then came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have not come to you till I left it like a camel with a skin disease." The Prophet then invoked good upon Ahmas and their cavalry (fighters). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6333)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تَكْفِينِي ذَا الْخَلَصَةِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَصَكَّ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ مِنْ قَوْمِي فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَأَحْرَقْنَاهَا وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَأَحْرَقْتُهَا» ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ «وَاللهِ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا مِثْلَ الْجَمَلِ الْأَجْرَبِ فَدَعَا لِأَحْمَسَ خَيْلِهَا وَرِجَالِهَا»
