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."

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

"Allah has not sent any Prophet but he was a shepherd." His Companions said to him: "Even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Even me I used to tend the sheep of the people of Makkah for a few Qirats." (Sahih)(One of the narrators) Suwaid said: " Meaning one Qirat for every sheep."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلاَّ رَاعِيَ غَنَمٍ قَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِالْقَرَارِيطِ قَالَ سُوَيْدٌ يَعْنِي كُلُّ شَاةٍ بِقِيرَاطٍ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Allah did not send a prophet except that he was a shepherd." They said, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Even I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Makkah in exchange for some 'qararit' (a type of wages)."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا بَعَثَ اللهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا رَاعِيَ غَنْمٍ قَالوا وَلَا أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِالْقَرَارِيطِ
