Hadith #14
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ مَرَّ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ غُنَيْمَةً لِي قَالَ نَعَمْ امْسَحْ رُعَامَهَا وَأَطِبْ مُرَاحَهَا وَصَلِّ فِي جَانِبِ مُرَاحِهَا
فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ وَأْنَسْ بِهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ قَلِيلَةُ الْمَطَرِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ

English Translation
Yahya narrated to us from Ibn 'Ajlan, who said: Wahb ibn Kaysan narrated to me, who said: My father passed by Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), who said: 'Where are you headed?' He said: 'To some sheep I have.' Abu Hurayrah said: 'Good. Wipe their nasal mucus, clean their pen, and pray in the side of their pen, for they are among the animals of Paradise. Be friendly with them, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: It is a land of little rain — meaning al-Madinah.'
