Volume 4, Book 52, Number 310:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir bin ‘Abdullah said to me, “Allah’s Apostle said to me, ‘Won’t you relieve me from Dhul-
Khalasa?’ Dhul-Khalasa was a house where the tribe of Khatham used to stay, and it used to be called
Ka’bat-ul Yamaniya. So I proceeded with one hundred-and-fifty (men) from the tribe of Ahmas who
were good cavalry. I informed the Prophet that I could not sit firm on horses, so he stroke me on the
chest with his hand and I noticed his finger marks on my chest. He invoked, ‘O Allah! Make him firm
and a guiding and rightly-guided man.” Jarir set out towards that place, dismantled and burnt it, and
then sent the good news to Allah’s Apostle . The messenger of Jarir said to Allah’s Apostle. “O Allah’s
Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till it (i.e. the house) had
been turned (black) like a scabby camel (covered with tar).” So the Prophet invokes Allah to Bless the
horses of the men of Ahmas five times.
