Protecting Oneself with Faith and Sheep

SUMMARY: A Muslim should strive to acquire a herd of sheep and use it to protect himself from tribulation.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri speaks about the importance of having faith in Allah and using one's possessions to protect oneself from tribulations. In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is advising Muslims to acquire a herd of sheep as their best possession, which they can use for protection when they retire to the top of a mountain or places where rain is expected to fall. This means that if one has faith in Allah, then he or she will be able to find safety even in difficult times. The Prophet ﷺ also emphasizes that having faith in Allah is essential for protection against tribulations. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for self-protection through our faith and possessions, so that we can remain safe during times of difficulty.
