Hadith 5752

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.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood that, according to the climate and atmosphere of the area, one should arrange for domesticated animals, and furthermore, their enclosures should be comfortable. The reason for performing prayer here could be that the owner will remain with the goats, and in this way, there will be safety from predators.
