"عَنْ أبِى إسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدة بن حَزْن النَّصْرِىِّ قَالَ: تَفَاخَرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أصحابُ الإبل وأَصْحَابُ الغَنَمِ، فَقَالَ أصحابُ الإبلِ: وَمَا أنْتُمْ يا رُعاة الشَّاةِ هَل تُحْيُونَ شيئًا، أوْ تُصِيدُونَهُ؟ مَا هِى إلا شُويْهات أَحدِكُمْ يْرعَاهَا، ثم يروحُها حَتَّى أَصْمِتُوهُمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: بُعثَ داودُ وَهُوَ رَاعِى غَنمَ، وبُعث مُوسَى وهُوَ رَاعى غَنمٍ، وبُعِثْتُ وأنَا راعِى غَنمٍ، أَهْلِى باجياد فَغَلَبَهُم أصحابُ الغنمِ".

"On the authority of Abu Ishaq, from 'Abdah ibn Hazn al-Nasri, who said: In the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the owners of camels and the owners of sheep boasted. The owners of camels said: And what are you, shepherds of sheep? Do you give life to anything or hunt it? Your sheep are only the little goats of one of you that he pastures, then brings back, until they are silent. The Prophet ﷺ said: Dawud was sent as a prophet while he was a shepherd of sheep, Musa was sent while he was a shepherd of sheep, and I was sent while I was a shepherd of sheep, my family at Ajyad. So the owners of sheep prevailed over them."
