Sahih al-Bukhari 5453 (Book 70, Hadith 82) #5228
Collecting Black Sheep

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was instructing people to collect black sheep as they were better. He also mentioned that all prophets have been shepherds.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: We were with Allah's Messenger collecting Al-Kabath at Mar-Az-Zahran. The Prophet said, "Collect the black ones, for they are better". Somebody said, (O Allah's Messenger !) Have you ever shepherded sheep?" He said, "There has been no prophet but has shepherded them".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ نَجْنِي الْكَبَاثَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالأَسْوَدِ مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ أَيْطَبُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَكُنْتَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ، وَهَلْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ رَعَاهَا
