The owners of camels and the owners of sheep were boasting against one another in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Pride and arrogance are found among the owners of camels, while tranquility and dignity are found among the owners of sheep."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "Musa was sent as a prophet while he was tending sheep for his family, and I too was sent as a prophet while I was tending sheep for my family at Jiyad."
