Sahih Muslim 2476b (Book 44, Hadith 196) #13447
Destruction of Idol-House

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent Jarir to destroy an idol-house and upon his success, the Prophet blessed the horses of Ahmas and their tribe.

Jarir b. 'Abdullah al-Bajali said: Allah's Messenger said to me: Can't on rid me of Dhu'I-Khalasah, the idol-house of Khath'am, and this idol-house was called the Yamanite Ka'ba. So I went along with 150 horsemen and I could not sit with steadfastness upon the horse. I made the mention of it to Allah's Messenger and he struck his hand on my chest and said: O Allah, grant him steadfastness and make him the guide of righteousness and the rightly-guided one. So he went away and he set fire to it. Then Jarir sent some person to Allah's Messenger whose Kunya was Abu Arta to give him the happy news about that. He came to Allah's Messenger and said: I have not come to you (but with the news) that we have left Dhu'l-Khalasah as a scabed camel. Thereupon Allah's Messenger blessed the horses of Ahmas and the men of their tribe five times.
