حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَکِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَی عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا رَعَی الْغَنَمَ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَنْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ کُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا عَلَی قَرَارِيطَ لِأَهْلِ مَکَّةَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2262
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah did not send any prophet but shepherded sheep." His companions asked him, "Did you do the same?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Mecca for some Qirats."
