Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The owners of camels and goats began to boast to one another in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the owners of camels there is pride and arrogance, and among the owners of goats there is tranquility and dignity. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Musa (peace be upon him) was sent as a prophet while he was a shepherd of goats, and when I was granted prophethood, I too was a shepherd of goats at the place of Ji’ad.
