عن وهب بن كيسان قال مر ابي على ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه فقال اين تريد قال غنيمة لي قال نعم امسح رعامها واطب مراحها وصل في جانب مراحها فإنها من دواب الجنة وانتسئ بها فإني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول إنها ارض قليلة المطر قال يعني المدينة
Wahb bin Kaysan says: My father passed by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked: Where are you intending to go? He replied: I have some goats (I am going towards them). Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Very well, but keep them clean, make their resting place good, and pray near their resting place, because they are among the animals of Paradise. Also, keep them away from the land of Madinah, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that this land receives little rain.

عن ابي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال افتخر اهل الإبل والغنم عند النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم الفخر والخيلاء في اهل الإبل والسكينة والوقار في اهل الغنم وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم بعث موسى وهو يرعى غنما على اهله وبعثت انا وانا ارعى غنما لاهلي بجياد
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the owners of camels and goats began to boast to one another.

Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Musa (peace be upon him) was sent (as a prophet), he used to herd the goats of his people, and when I was sent (as a prophet), I too used to herd goats in Ji'ad.
