Wahb bin Kaysan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once my father passed by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked, "Where are you intending to go?" My father replied, "I am going to my goats' enclosure." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alright, clean their noses, keep their grazing place clean, and be gentle with them in the pasture, for they are animals of Paradise. And keep affection for them, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say regarding the land of Madinah that this area receives little rainfall."
