Sirat Ibn Hisham 105
What the Arabs used to do with the idols
[ ذُو الْخَلَصَةِ وَسَدَنَتُهُ وَهَدْمُهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ ذُو الْخَلَصَةِ لِدَوْسٍ وَخَثْعَمَ وَبَجِيلَةَ، وَمَنْ كَانَ بِبِلَادِهِمْ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ بِتَبَالَةَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: ذُو الْخُلُصَةِ. قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ:: لَوْ كُنْتَ يَا ذَا الْخُلُصِ الْمَوْتُورَا مِثْلِي وَكَانَ شَيْخُكَ الْمَقْبُورَا لَمْ تَنْهَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْعُدَاةِ زُورَا قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ قُتِلَ، فَأَرَادَ الطَّلَبَ بِثَأْرِهِ، فَأَتَى ذَا الْخَلَصَةِ، فَاسْتَقْسَمَ عِنْدَهُ بِالْأَزْلَامِ، فَخَرَجَ السَّهْمُ بِنَهْيِهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتَ. وَمِنْ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُنْحِلُهَا امْرَأَ الْقَيْسِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ الْكِنْدِيَّ. فَبَعَثَ إلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيَّ فَهَدَمَهُ
Translation
✧ Dhu al-Khalasah, its custodians, and its destruction Ibn Ishaq said: Dhu al-Khalasah belonged to Daws, Khathʿam, and Bajilah, and those Arabs who were in their lands at Tabalah. Ibn Hisham said: It is also said “Dhu al-Khulusah.” A man from the Arabs said: If only you, O Dhu al-Khulus, the bereft of revenge, were like me, and your elder were the buried one, you would not forbid the killing of enemies falsely. He said: His father had been killed, so he wanted to seek his vengeance. He came to Dhu al-Khalasah and sought a decision there by the divining arrows. The arrow came out forbidding him from that, so he said these verses. Some people attribute them to Imruʾ al-Qays b. Hujr al-Kindi. The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Jarir b. ʿAbd Allah al-Bajali to it, and he destroyed it.
