Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Can't on rid me of Dhu'I-Khalasah, the idol-house of Khath'am, and this idol-house was called the Yamanite Ka'ba. So I went along with 150 horsemen and I could not sit with steadfastness upon the horse. I made the mention of it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he struck his hand on my chest and said: O Allah, grant him steadfastness and make him the guide of righteousness and the rightly-guided one. So he went away and he set fire to it. Then Jarir sent some person to Messenger of Allah ﷺ whose Kunya was Abu Arta to give him the happy news about that. He came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have not come to you (but with the news) that we have left Dhu'l-Khalasah as a scabed camel. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ blessed the horses of Ahmas and the men of their tribe five times.  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا جَرِيرُ أَلاَ تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ بَيْتٍ لِخَثْعَمَ كَانَ يُدْعَى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةِ قَالَ فَنَفَرْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ وَكُنْتُ لاَ أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلاً يُبَشِّرُهُ يُكْنَى أَبَا أَرْطَاةَ مِنَّا فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْنَاهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ فَبَرَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ  

"كُنْتُ لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلكَ لِرَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَضَرَبَ يدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ يَدِهِ فِى صَدْرِى فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ، وَاجعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيّا. فَمَا سَقَطْتُ عَنْ فَرَسٍ بَعْدُ".
