Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him. When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet said, Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his Ihram for Umra only. The Prophet had a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet said (to him), With what intention have you assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us? `Ali said, I assumed the lhram with the same intention as that of the Prophet . The Prophet said, Keep on the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi.

And that was a house (in Yemem belonging to the tribe of) Khatham called Al-Ka`ba Al Yamaniya. I proceeded with one-hundred and-fifty cavalry from Ahmas (tribe) who were horse riders. I used not to sit firm on horses, so the Prophet stroke me over my chest till I saw the mark of his fingers over my chest, and then he said, 'O Allah! Make him (i.e. Jarir) firm and one who guides others and is guided on the right path. So Jarir proceeded to it dismantled and burnt it, and then sent a messenger to Allah's Apostle. The messenger of Jarir said (to the Prophet), By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave that place till it was like a scabby camel. The Prophet blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times.

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 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 Bajaila, 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 Apostle 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 Apostle! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel. Then the Prophet blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times.

He replied, `Aisha.' I said, 'From amongst the men?' He replied, 'Her father (Abu Bakr)'. I said, 'Whom (do you love) next?' He replied, `Umar.'

Read More..Narrated Jarir: While I was at Yemen, I met two men from Yemen called Dhu Kala and Dhu `Amr, and I started telling them about Allah's Apostle. Dhu `Amr said to me, If what you are saying about your friend (i.e. the Prophet) is true, then he has died three days ago. Then both of them accompanied me to Medina, and when we had covered some distance on the way to Medina, we saw some riders coming from Medina. We asked them and they said, Allah's Apostle has died and Abu Bakr has been appointed as the Caliph and the people are in a good state.' Then they said, Tell your friend (Abu Bakr) that we have come (to visit him), and if Allah will, we will come again. So they both returned to Yemen. When I told Abu Bakr their statement, he said to me, I wish you had brought them (to me). Afterwards I met Dhu `Amr, and he said to me, O Jarir! You have done a favor to me and I am going to tell you something, i.e. you, the nation of 'Arabs, will remain prosperous as long as you choose and appoint another chief whenever a former one is dead. But if authority is obtained by the power of the sword, then the rulers will become kings who will get angry, as kings get angry, and will be delighted as kings get delighted.
