That is the bounty of Allah, which He gives to whom He

wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.”

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص as

saying: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible

for his flock. The amir (ruler) who is over the people is a shepherd

and is responsible for his flock; a man is a shepherd in charge of

the inhabitants of his household and he is responsible for his flock;

a woman is a shepherdess in charge of her husband's house and

children and she is responsible for them; and a man's slave is a

shepherd in charge of his master's property and he is responsible

for it. So each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible

for his flock.”
