The Prophet ﷺ said, "None spoke in the cradle except three: Isa son of Maryam, the companion of Jurayj, and a third.Jurayj was a devout man who built himself a hermitage and stayed in it. His mother came to him while he was praying and called out, 'Jurayj!' He said, 'My Lord, my mother and my prayer!' and continued with his prayer, so she left.The next day she came to him while he was praying and called out, 'Jurayj!' He said, 'My Lord, my mother and my prayer!' and continued with his prayer, so she left.The next day she came to him while he was praying and called out, 'Jurayj!' He said, 'My Lord, my mother and my prayer!' and continued with his prayer. She said, 'O Allah, do not let him die until he looks upon the faces of harlots.'The Children of Israil spoke among themselves about Jurayj and his worship. There was a prostitute whose beauty was held up as a standard, and she said, 'If you wish, I will tempt him for you.' She presented herself to him, but he paid her no attention. So she went to a shepherd who used to take shelter near his hermitage and offered herself to him. He had relations with her and she became pregnant. When she gave birth, she said, 'This child is from Jurayj.'They came to him, brought him down, demolished his hermitage, and began beating him. He said, 'What is the matter with you?' They replied, 'You committed fornication with this prostitute and she bore your child.' He said, 'Where is the boy?' They brought the child to him. He said, 'Let me pray.' He prayed, and when he finished, he came to the boy and prodded his belly, saying, 'Boy, who is your father?' The child said, 'So-and-so the shepherd.'At that, they turned to Jurayj, kissing him and rubbing themselves against him, and said, 'We will rebuild your hermitage in gold.' He said, 'No, restore it with clay as it was,' and they did so.While a child was nursing from his mother, a man passed by riding a fine mount and wearing splendid attire. The mother said, 'O Allah, make my son like this man.' The child let go of the breast, turned toward him and looked at him, then said, 'O Allah, do not make me like him,' and went back to the breast and resumed nursing."The narrator said, "It is as if I am looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ right now, depicting the child's nursing by placing his index finger in his mouth and sucking on it."He continued, "They passed by a slave girl whom people were beating and saying, 'You committed fornication! You stole!' while she was saying, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and what an excellent Guardian He is.' His mother said, 'O Allah, do not make my son like her.' The child stopped nursing, looked at her, and said, 'O Allah, make me like her.'At that point they exchanged words. She said, 'May your throat be cut! A handsome, well-dressed man passed by and I said, O Allah, make my son like him, and you said, O Allah, do not make me like him. Then we passed by this slave woman whom they were beating and accusing of fornication and theft, and I said, O Allah, do not make my son like her, and you said, O Allah, make me like her.'The child said, 'That man was a tyrant, so I said, O Allah, do not make me like him. As for this woman, they say to her, You have committed fornication, but she has not, and, You have stolen, but she has not, so I said, O Allah, make me like her.'"
