bukhari:2262Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Makkī > ʿAmr b. Yaḥyá from his father > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah did not send any prophet but shepherded sheep." His companions asked him, "Did you do the same?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Mecca for some Qirats."  

البخاري:٢٢٦٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَكِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلاَّ رَعَى الْغَنَمَ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَنْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا عَلَى قَرَارِيطَ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ
