Musnad Abi Ya'la 2062 — we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ picking
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الَّذِي يُعْرَفُ : بِابْنِ الشَّاعِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - نَجْتَنِي الْكَبَاثَ ، فَقَالَ : عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُهُ فَقُلْنَا : وَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَقَدْ رَعَاهَا . ؟
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picking kabath (the fruit of the arak tree), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look for the black ones among them, for they are the most delicious." We said: (O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!) Did you used to herd sheep? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, and has there been any prophet who did not herd sheep?"
