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) .

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."

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.
