Jurayy used to devote himself to worship in his hermitage. His mother came to him and said, "Jurayy, I am your mother, speak to me."Abu Hurairah, while narrating this, would gesture in the same way the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had gestured, placing his hand over his right brow.She found him praying, and he said, "My Lord, my mother or my prayer?" He chose his prayer, so she went back. Then she came to him again and found him praying, and she said, "Jurayy, I am your mother, speak to me." He said, "My Lord, my mother or my prayer?" He chose his prayer. Then she came to him a third time and found him praying, and she said, "Jurayy, I am your mother, speak to me." He said, "My Lord, my mother or my prayer?" He chose his prayer.So she said, "O Allah, this is Jurayy, and he is my son. I spoke to him and he refused to speak to me. O Allah, do not let him die until you show him the prostitutes." Had she prayed that he be tempted into sin, he would have been tempted.Now there was a shepherd who used to take shelter beside his hermitage. A woman came out, and the shepherd had relations with her, and she gave birth to a boy. It was asked, "Whose child is this?" She replied, "He belongs to the man of the hermitage."So the people came with their axes and shovels, advanced upon the hermitage, and called out to him, but he did not answer them. They began to tear down his hermitage, so he came down to them. They said, "Question this woman."He smiled, as I think the narrator said, then he wiped the head of the child and asked, "Who is your father?"The child answered, "The shepherd of the sheep."They said, "Jurayy, we will rebuild what we have demolished of your hermitage with gold and silver."He said, "No, just restore it to dust as it was." So they did.
حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد قال حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة قال حدثنا حميد بن هلال عن أبي رافع
كان جريج يتعبد في صومعته قال فأتته أمه فقالت يا جريج أنا أمك فكلمني قال وكان أبو هريرة يصف كما كان رسول الله ﷺ يصفها وضع يده على حاجبه الأيمن قال فصادفته يصلي فقال يا رب أمي وصلاتي فاختار صلاته فرجعت ثم أتته فصادفته يصلي فقالت يا جريج أنا أمك فكلمني فقال يا رب أمي وصلاتي فاختار صلاته ثم أتته فصادفته يصلي فقالت يا جريج أنا أمك فكلمني قال يا رب أمي وصلاتي فاختار صلاته فقالت اللهم إن هذا جريج وإنه ابني وإني كلمته فأبى أن يكلمني اللهم فلا تمته حتى تريه المومسات ولو دعت عليه أن يفتتن لافتتن قال وكان راع يأوي إلى ديره قال فخرجت امرأة فوقع عليها الراعي فولدت غلاما فقيل ممن هذا فقالت هو من صاحب الدير فأقبلوا بفؤوسهم ومساحيهم وأقبلوا إلى الدير فنادوه فلم يكلمهم فأخذوا يهدمون ديره فنزل إليهم فقالوا سل هذه المرأة قال أراه تبسم قال ثم مسح رأس الصبي فقال من أبوك قال راعي الضأن فقالوا يا جريج نبني ما هدمنا من ديرك بالذهب والفضة قال لا ولكن أعيدوه ترابا كما كان ففعلوا
