English translation

[5349] 163 - (2050) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ in Marr Az-Zahrân and we were picking the fruit of the arak tree. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'You should choose the black ones.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, it is as if you once tended sheep.' He said: 'Yes. Was there any Prophet who did not tend sheep?' or words to that effect."

Arabic text

163 - (2050) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ، وَنَحْنُ نَجْنِي الْكَبَاثَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَأَنَّكَ رَعَيْتَ الْغَنَمَ، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَقَدْ رَعَاهَا» أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا مِنَ الْقَوْلِ
