Display of Prestige Through Livestock:
The main occupation of the Arabs was herding, and these herds usually consisted of sheep, goats, and camels. There were also mules, donkeys, and horses, but they were relatively fewer. The Quraysh of Makkah were traders, and their wealth was in the form of cash—dirhams and dinars. However, for the common Arab tribes, the sign of being wealthy was these animals. The more animals one had, the wealthier he was considered, and these animals were regarded as his moving wealth; in them was his prestige and grandeur. In the evening, the owners of such flocks and herds would go out of their settlements or villages to wait for them. When these animals, after grazing and being satiated, returned home in the evening, their owners would be overjoyed at the sight of them. That is why Allah Almighty first mentioned the return of these animals, and in the morning, too, there was a unique hustle and bustle and a sense of happiness when the animals set out. Allah mentioned this state of joy and grandeur, which was in addition to other benefits.
