Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 416
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، أَنَّ وَهْبَ بْنَ كَيْسَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ، وَكَانَ وَهْبٌ أَدْرَكَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَأَى رَاعِيًا وَغَنَمًا فِي مَكَانٍ قَبِيحٍ وَرَأَى مَكَانًا أَمْثَلَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: وَيْحَكَ، يَا رَاعِي، حَوِّلْهَا، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: كُلُّ رَاعٍ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ.

‘Amr ibn Khalid narrated to us: Bakr narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Ajlan, that Wahb ibn Kaysan informed him—and Wahb had met ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar—that Ibn ‘Umar saw a shepherd and sheep in a poor place, and saw a better place than it. He said to the shepherd, ‘Woe to you, shepherd! Move them, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) say: Every shepherd is responsible for his flock.’
