Hadith 5696

(1) His statement “Dhi al-Khalsah”: with two fathahs, refers to a house belonging to Khath‘am, called the Ka‘bah of Yamamah, and al-Khalsah was the name of their idol within it. His statement “I could not stay steady on horses” means I would sometimes fall off them. His statement “So, I set out”: At-Tibi said it is the narrator’s words. Others said it is Jarir’s, and there is a difference therein. The meaning is that Jarir went. His statement “from Ahmas”: meaning from the people of Quraysh. Al-Ahmas means the brave, and al-hamasah refers to bravery. They were resolute in religion and fighting, not taking shade during the days of Mina nor entering houses through their doors, and similar practices. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: ذي الخلصة بفتحتين، وهو بيت كان لخثعم يدعي كعبة اليمامة، والخلصة اسم طاغيتهم التي كانت فيه. وقوله: «لا أثبت بضم الباء، على الخيل أي كنت أقع عنها أحيانا. وقوله: فانطلق» قال الطيبي: هو من كلام الراوي. وقيل: هو من كلام جرير، وفيه التفاوت. والمعنى: فذهب جرير. وقوله: «من أحمس أي من قوم قريش والأحمس الشجاع، والحماسة الشجاعة والحاصل أنهم كانوا متصلبين في الدين والقتال، فلا يستظلون أيام منى ولا يدخلون البيوت من أبوابها، وأمثال ذلك. كذا في «المرقاة».
