38. Marital Feast
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ الْوَلِيمَةِ
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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3406)
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَجْنِي الْكَبَاثَ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ أَطْيَبُهُ» قُلْنَا وَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «وَمَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا رَعَاهَا»
