Summary
Malik transmits from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdallah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Sasaa, from his father, from Abu Said al-Khudri (may God be pleased with him), that the Prophet ﷺ said: soon the best wealth of a Muslim will be sheep, taken to the mountain paths and places of rain, fleeing with his religion from trials. The editor notes the differing reports of 'shi'b' and 'shu'f', and considers Ibn Abd al-Barr's error in the 'shi'b' report questionable, since the same meaning appears in the hadith of Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him). 1
