حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: جُرَيْجٌ، كَانَ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي صَوْمَعَةٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَنَادَتْهُ، فَقَالَتْ: أَيْ جُرَيْجُ، أَيْ بُنَيَّ، أَشْرِفْ عَلَيَّ أُكَلِّمْكَ، أَنَا أُمُّكَ، أَشْرِفْ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، صَلَاتِي وَأُمِّي، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ، ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَنَادَتْهُ مِرَارًا، فَقَالَتْ: أَيْ جُرَيْجُ، أَيْ بُنَيَّ، أَشْرِفْ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، صَلَاتِي وَأُمِّي، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ،، ، فَقَالَتْ: اللهُمَّ لَا تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى تُرِيَهُ الْمُومِسَةَ، وَكَانَتْ رَاعِيَةً تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِأَهْلِهَا، ثُمَّ تَأْوِي إِلَى ظِلِّ صَوْمَعَتِهِ فَأَصَابَتْ فَاحِشَةً، فَحَمَلَتْ فَأُخِذَتْ وَكَانَ مَنْ زَنَى مِنْهُمْ قُتِلَ، قَالُوا: مِمَّنْ؟ قَالَتْ: مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ صَاحِبِ الصَّوْمَعَةِ، فَجَاءُوا بِالْفُؤُوسِ وَالْمُرُورِ، فَقَالُوا: أَيْ جُرَيْجُ، أَيْ مُرَاءٍ،: انْزِلْ، فَأَبَى وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ يُصَلِّي، فَأَخَذُوا فِي هَدْمِ صَوْمَعَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ، فَجَعَلُوا فِي عُنُقِهِ وَعُنُقِهَا حَبْلًا، فَجَعَلُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِمَا فِي النَّاسِ، فَوَضَعَ أُصْبُعَهُ عَلَى بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَ: أَيْ غُلَامُ، مَنْ أَبُوكَ؟ قَالَ: أَبِي فُلَانٌ رَاعِي الضَّأْنِ، فَقَبَّلُوهُ، وَقَالُوا: إِنْ شِئْتَ بَنَيْنَا لَكَ صَّوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ، قَالَ: أَعِيدُوهَا كَمَا كَانَتْ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Among the Children of Israel there was a man named Jurayj. Once, he was praying when his mother came and called out, "Jurayj, my son! Look towards me, I am your mother, I have come to speak to you." He thought to himself, "Should I respond to my mother or continue my prayer?" In the end, he did not reply to his mother. This happened several times. Finally, his mother (prayed against him and) said, "O Allah, do not let him die until he is confronted by wicked women." Meanwhile, there was a slave girl who used to graze her master's goats and would take shelter under his monastery. She committed adultery and became pregnant. The people caught her. At that time, the custom was to kill the adulterer. The people asked her, "Whose child is this?" She said, "This boy is Jurayj's." The people came to Jurayj with axes and ropes and said, "O hypocrite, Jurayj, come down!" Jurayj refused to come down and started praying. The people began to demolish his monastery, upon which he came down. The people put a rope around the necks of Jurayj and the woman and paraded them among the people. He placed his finger on the child's stomach and asked, "O boy, who is your father?" The boy replied, "So-and-so shepherd." The people (seeing this truth) said, "We will rebuild your place of worship with gold and silver." Jurayj replied, "Make it as it was before."
