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) .
