بَابُ الإبِلُ عِزٌّ لِأهْلِهَاChapter: Camels Are Honor for Their Owners
Hadith 577
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَةَ بْنَ حَزْنٍ يَقُولُ: تَفَاخَرَ أَهْلُ الإِبِلِ وَأَصْحَابُ الشَّاءِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”بُعِثَ مُوسَى وَهُوَ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ، وَبُعِثَ دَاوُدُ وَهُوَ رَاعٍ، وَبُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَأَنَا أَرْعَى غَنَمًا لأَهْلِي بِأَجْيَادِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Abdah bin Hazn (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The camel herders and the goat herders boasted against each other. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Musa (peace be upon him) was made a prophet while he was a shepherd of goats. Dawud (peace be upon him) was made a prophet while he was a shepherd of goats, and I was sent as a prophet while I used to graze the goats of my family at the place of Ajyad.”
