Hadith text

Narrated Qais:Jarir said "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So I proceeded along with one-hundred and fifty cavalry from Ahmas tribe who were skillful in riding horses. I used not to sit firm over horses, so I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, and he stroke my chest with his hand till I saw the marks of his hand over my chest and he said, O Allah! Make him firm and one who guides others and is guided (on the right path).' Since then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul-l--Khulasa was a house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajila, and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was called Al-Ka`ba." Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and dismantled it. When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who used to foretell and give good omens by casting arrows of divination. Someone said to him. "The messenger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is present here and if he should get hold of you, he would chop off your neck." One day while he was using them (i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to him, "Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck." So the man broke those arrows and testified that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Then Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from the tribe of Ahmas to the Prophet to convey the good news (of destroying Dhu-l-Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet, he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times

Qais bataate hain: Jarir ne kaha, "Allah ke Rasool ne mujhse kaha, 'Kya tum mujhe Dhul-Khalasa se rahat nahi doge?' Maine jawab diya, 'Haan, (main aapko rahat dunga).' Isliye main paanch sau pachas ghudswaron ke saath badha jo Ahmas qabile se the aur ghode chalane mein maahir the. Main ghodon par sthir nahi baith pata tha, isliye maine Nabi ko iske baare mein bataya, aur unhone apne haath se mere seene par thap-thapaya jab tak maine unke haath ke nishaan apne seene par dekhe aur unhone kaha, 'Aye Allah! Ise sthir bana aur ek aisa shaks jo doosron ko sahi raste par le jaye aur khud bhi sahi raste par ho (dikhaee de).' Tab se main kabhi ghode se nahi gira. Dhu-l-Khulasa Yemen mein ek ghar tha Khatham aur Bajila qabile ka, aur usmein but the jinki puja ki jati thi, aur use Al-Ka'ba kaha jata tha." Jarir wahaan gaye, use aag se jala diya aur dhwast kiya. Jab Jarir Yemen pahunche, wahaan ek shaks tha jo bhavishyavani karta tha aur bhavishyavani ke teeron se shubh-ashubh batata tha. Kisi ne unse kaha, "Allah ke Rasool ka sandesh-vahak yahaan maujood hai aur agar woh tumhe pakad le, woh tumhari gala kaat dega." Ek din jabke woh unka istemal kar rahe the (yaani bhavishyavani ke teer), Jarir wahaan ruke aur unse kaha, "Inhe todo (yaani teeron ko) aur gawahi do ke Allah ke siwa koee mabood nahi, warna main tumhari gala kaat dunga." Isliye us shaks ne woh teer tode aur gawahi di ke Allah ke siwa koee mabood nahi. Phir Jarir ne Ahmas qabile se ek shaks jinka naam Abu Artata tha use Nabi ko achhi khabar (Dhu-l-Khalasa ke vinaash ki) dene ke liye bheja. Isliye jab sandesh-vahak Nabi tak pahunche, unhone kaha, "Aye Allah ke Rasool! Us Zaat ki qasam jisne aapko Haqq ke saath bheja hai, maine ise tab tak nahi chhoda jab tak yeh ek kharaab untni jaisa nahi ban gaya." Phir Nabi ne Ahmas ke ghodon aur unke logon ko paanch baar barkat di.
