Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ وَكَانَ بَيْتًا فِي خَثْعَمَ يُسَمَّى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةِ فَنَفَرْتُ إِ
لَيْهِ فِي سَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا فَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ وَبَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ بَشِيرًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ فَبَرَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ

English Translation
Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Will you not relieve me of Dhū al-Khalasah?' It was a shrine in (the land of) Khathʿam called the Kaʿbah of Yemen. So I set out toward it with one hundred and fifty horsemen from Aḥmas. He went to it and burned it with fire. Jarīr sent a messenger (bashīr) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I did not come to you until I left it like a mangy camel.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ blessed the cavalry and men of Aḥmas five times.
