باب الإبل عز لأهلها
Chapter: Camels are honor for their owners
Hadith Number: 450
450/577 عن عبدة بن حزن قال: تفاخر اهل الإبل واصحاب الشاء، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" بعث موسى وهو راعي غنم، وبعث داود وهو راعي، وبعثت انا وانا ارعى غنما لاهلي بالاجياد"(4).
‘Abdah bin Hazn says: The owners of camels and the owners of goats boasted to one another (the owners of camels said that they had superiority, and the owners of goats said that they had superiority). So the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“When Musa (Moses) was made a Prophet, he was a shepherd of goats; when Dawud (David) was made a Prophet, he too was a shepherd; and when I was made a Prophet, I used to graze the goats of my family in the Ajyad neighborhood.”
