Allah Ta’ala, speaking to Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam), said: “Do you know why Nubuwwat was bestowed to you?” Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam) responded: “O my Rabb! You know best why?” Allah Ta’ala said: “One day one of your goats ran from the flock. You chased after it. When finally you caught up with the goat, then instead of hitting it you said affectionately to it: ‘O goat! You have exhausted me, and I have exhausted you.’ You were affectionate to the defenceless goat, hence I have bestowed Nubuwwat to you.”
Nabi Musa (alayhis salaam) had lifted the goat on to his shoulders and carried it back to the flock.
