Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2822 — Fairness to slaves and to the animals one

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) — he would sometimes narrate it as marfu' (that is, as a saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) and sometimes as mawquf (that is, as his own saying) — that he said: "Sheep and goats are a source of blessing."
Abu Ya'la recorded this hadith, and this report is narrated through various chains which indicate keeping sheep and goats and that there is goodness and blessing in them.
