أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَجْتَنِي الْكَبَاثَ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ» فَقُلْنَا وَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا قَدْ رَعَاهَا»
