عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ مَرَّ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ غُنَيْمَةً لِي قَالَ نَعَمْ امْسَحْ رُعَامَهَا وَأَطِبْ مُرَاحَهَا وَصَلِّ فِي جَانِبِ مُرَاحِهَا فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ وَانْتَسِئْ بِهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ قَلِيلَةُ الْمَطْرِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ
Wahb bin Kaysan says: My father passed by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked: Where are you intending to go? He replied: I have some goats (I am going towards them). Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Very well, but keep them clean, make their resting place good, and pray near their resting place, because they are among the animals of Paradise. Also, keep them away from the land of Madinah, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that this land receives little rain.
