وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: “مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلاَّ رَعَى الْغَنَمَ” قَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ: وَأَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا عَلَى قَرَارِيطَ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ” ((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every Prophet (ﷺ) has tended sheep." He was asked: "And did you?" He replied: "Yes, I tended them for a few carats for the Makkans." [Al-Bukhari].
