Herding sheep and whether it is among the sunnahs of the Prophets

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: Based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no Prophet whoما من نبي إلا قد
Muwatta Malik 54:18
, is it said that herding sheep is among the sunnahs of the Prophets and that it is a Prophetic sunnah?

Answer:
Herding sheep when there is a need is among the sunnahs of the Prophets. As for you, if Allah has made you wealthy and you are a merchant, going to herd sheep has no basis. But the one in need herds sheep. Yes.
