2262. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه : The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh did not send any Prophet but he shepherded sheep." His Companions asked him. "Did you do the same?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Makkah for some Qirāt."

Arabic text

2262 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ المَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا رَعَى الغَنَمَ»، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ: وَأَنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا عَلَى قَرَارِيطَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ»
