حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَانَ جُرَيْجٌ يَتَعَبَّدُ فِي صَوْمَعَةٍ ، فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ. قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ : فَوَصَفَ لَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ صِفَةَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لِصِفَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّهُ حِينَ دَعَتْهُ ، كَيْفَ جَعَلَتْ كَفَّهَا فَوْقَ حَاجِبِهَا ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَتْ رَأْسَهَا إِلَيْهِ تَدْعُوهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا جُرَيْجُ أَنَا أُمُّكَ كَلِّمْنِي فَصَادَفَتْهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي ، فَاخْتَارَ صَلاَتَهُ ، فَرَجَعَتْ ، ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا جُرَيْجُ أَنَا أُمُّكَ فَكَلِّمْنِي ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي ، فَاخْتَارَ صَلاَتَهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا جُرَيْجٌ وَهُوَ ابْنِي وَإِنِّي كَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي ، اللَّهُمَّ فَلاَ تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى تُرِيَهُ الْمُومِسَاتِ. قَالَ: وَلَوْ دَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُفْتَنَ لَفُتِنَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَاعِي ضَأْنٍ يَأْوِي إِلَى دَيْرِهِ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا الرَّاعِي، فَحَمَلَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَتْ: مِنْ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الدَّيْرِ ، قَالَ فَجَاؤُوا بِفُؤُوسِهِمْ وَمَسَاحِيهِمْ ، فَنَادَوْهُ فَصَادَفُوهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُمْ ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذُوا يَهْدِمُونَ دَيْرَهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ : سَلْ هَذِهِ ، قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَ الصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبُوكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَبِي رَاعِي الضَّأْنِ ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ قَالُوا: نَبْنِي مَا هَدَمْنَا مِنْ دَيْرِكَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ ، قَالَ: لاَ ، وَلَكِنْ أَعِيدُوهُ تُرَابًا كَمَا كَانَ ، ثُمَّ عَلاَهُ.

It was narrated from Abu Rafi' that Abu Hurairah said: "Juraij used to worship in his hermitage, and his mother came to him." Humaid said: "Abu Rafi' described to us how the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) described his mother when she called him, how she put her hand on her forehead then raised her head to call him. "She said: 'O Juraij! I am your mother, speak to me.' She found him praying and he said: 'O Allah, my mother or my prayer?' And he chose his prayer. She went away, then she came back a second time, and said: 'O Juraij! I am your mother, speak to me.' He said: 'O Allah, my mother or my prayer?' And he chose his prayer. She said: 'O Allah, this is Juraij and he is my son, and I spoke to him but he refused to speak to me. O Allah, do not let him die until he has seen prostitutes.'" He said: "If she had prayed that he be tempted, he would have fallen prey to temptation. There was a shepherd who lived near his hermitage, and a woman came out of the village and he had intercourse with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. It was said to her: 'What is this?' She said: 'From the one who lives in this hermitage.' They came with their axes and shovels and called him, and they found him praying, and he did not speak to them. They started to destroy his hermitage, and when he saw that, he came down to them, and they said to him: 'Ask this woman.' He smiled and patted the child on the head and said: 'Who is your father?' He said: 'My father is the shepherd.' When they heard that from him they said: 'We will rebuild what we have destroyed of your hermitage with gold and silver.' He said: 'No; just put it back as it was, with clay.' Then he went up to it.''
