عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَجْتَنِي الْكَبَاثَ فَقَالَ ((عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُهُ)) قَالَ قُلْنَا وَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ((نَعَمْ وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا قَدْ رَعَاهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were picking the fruit of the arak tree with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pick the black ones, for indeed they are the best. We said: O Messenger of Allah! Did you also herd goats? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, in fact every prophet has herded goats.
