We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ picking the fruits of the 'Arak trees, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pick the black fruit, for it is the best." The companions asked, "Were you a shepherd?" He replied, "There was no prophet who was not a shepherd."  

(١٣٢٩) البخاري:٣٤٠٦حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَجْنِي الْكَبَاثَ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُهُ قَالُوا أَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ قَالَ وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ رَعَاهَا
