Sahih Muslim 2050

Translation

We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Marr az-Zahran, and we were plucking the fruit of the Arak tree, whereupon Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: Pluck only its black ones (for they are the most pleasant). We said: Messenger of Allah, it seems you shepherded the flock. He said: Yes. Has there been a prophet who did not shepherd it (or some words like it)?
