Musnad Ahmad Hadith 19249

It is narrated from Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Why do you not relieve me from Dhi al-Khalasah?" This was a church in the tribe of Khath'am which was called the Yemeni Ka'bah. So I set out with one hundred and fifty men from Ahmas, all of whom were horsemen. I said to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) that I cannot sit firmly on the back of a horse. So the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) struck his blessed hand on my chest until I saw the marks of his fingers on my chest, and he prayed, "O Allah! Grant him firmness and composure, and make him one who guides and is guided." Then I set out, and upon reaching there, I set it on fire. Then I sent a man to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) to give him the good news, and he said, "By Him who sent you with the truth, I left it in such a state as if it were a mangy camel." Upon this, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) prayed for blessings for Ahmas and its horsemen five times.
