We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ collecting Al-Kabath at Mar-Az-Zahran. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Collect the black ones, for they are better." Somebody said, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!) Have you ever shepherded sheep?" He said, "There has been no prophet but has shepherded them. "  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ نَجْنِي الْكَبَاثَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَيْطَبُ فَقَالَ أَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ رَعَاهَا
