Jurayy used to devote himself to worship in his hermitage, and one day his mother came to him.Humayd said, Abu Rafi described to us how Abu Hurairah described the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showing the gesture of Jurayy's mother when she called out to him, how she placed her palm above her brow and raised her head toward him, calling him.She said, "Jurayy, I am your mother. Speak to me." She found him praying, so he said, "O Allah, my mother or my prayer?" and he chose his prayer. She left, then returned a second time and said, "Jurayy, I am your mother. Speak to me." He said, "O Allah, my mother or my prayer?" and again 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 he has looked upon the faces of prostitutes."Had she invoked Allah to put him to trial, he would have been put to trial.Now there was a shepherd who used to take shelter beside his hermitage. A woman from the village came out, and the shepherd had relations with her, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. She was asked, "Whose child is this?" She replied, "From the man of this hermitage."So the people came with their axes and shovels and called out to him. They found him praying, and he did not speak to them. They began tearing down his hermitage. When he saw that, he came down to them.They said to him, "Ask this woman."He smiled, then wiped the head of the infant and asked, "Who is your father?"The child answered, "My father is the shepherd."When they heard this from him, they said, "We will rebuild what we destroyed of your hermitage with gold and silver."He said, "No. Restore it to dirt as it was." Then he climbed back up.
حدثنا شيبان بن فروخ حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة حدثنا حميد بن هلال عن أبي رافع
كان جريج يتعبد في صومعة فجاءت أمه قال حميد فوصف لنا أبو رافع صفة أبي هريرة لصفة رسول الله ﷺ أمه حين دعته كيف جعلت كفها فوق حاجبها ثم رفعت رأسها إليه تدعوه فقالت يا جريج أنا أمك كلمني فصادفته يصلي فقال اللهم أمي وصلاتي فاختار صلاته فرجعت ثم عادت في الثانية فقالت يا جريج أنا أمك فكلمني قال اللهم أمي وصلاتي فاختار صلاته فقالت اللهم إن هذا جريج وهو ابني وإني كلمته فأبى أن يكلمني اللهم فلا تمته حتى تريه المومسات قال ولو دعت عليه أن يفتن لفتن قال وكان راعي ضأن يأوي إلى ديره قال فخرجت امرأة من القرية فوقع عليها الراعي فحملت فولدت غلاما فقيل لها ما هذا قالت من صاحب هذا الدير قال فجاءوا بفؤوسهم ومساحيهم فنادوه فصادفوه يصلي فلم يكلمهم قال فأخذوا يهدمون ديره فلما رأى ذلك نزل إليهم فقالوا له سل هذه قال فتبسم ثم مسح رأس الصبي فقال من أبوك قال أبي راعي الضأن فلما سمعوا ذلك منه قالوا نبني ما هدمنا من ديرك بالذهب والفضة قال لا ولكن أعيدوه ترابا كما كان ثم علاه
