Musnad Ahmad 9602

Translation

✧ Jurayj was worshiping in his hermitage. His mother came to him and said: O Jurayj, I am your mother, so speak to me. He said—and Abu Hurayrah described as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described her—he placed his hand on his right eyebrow. He found him praying, so he said: O Lord, my mother or my prayer. He chose his prayer, so she returned. Then she came to him and found him praying. She said: O Jurayj, I am your mother, so speak to me. He said: O Lord, my mother or my prayer. He chose his prayer. Then she came to him and found him praying. She said: O Jurayj, I am your mother, so speak to me. He said: O Lord, my mother or my prayer. He chose his prayer. She said: O Allah, this is Jurayj, and he is my son. I spoke to him, but he refused to speak to me. O Allah, do not let him die until You show him the prostitutes. Had she prayed against him that he be tempted, he would have been tempted. He said: There was a shepherd who used to take shelter at his monastery. A woman went out, and the shepherd had intercourse with her. She gave birth to a boy. It was said: From whom is this? She said: He is from the owner of the monastery. So they came with their axes and shovels and approached the monastery. They called him, but he did not speak to them. They began to demolish his monastery. He came down to them. They said: Ask this woman. He said: I think he smiled. Then he wiped the head of the child and said: Who is your father? The child said: The shepherd of the sheep. They said: O Jurayj, we will rebuild what we demolished of your monastery with gold and silver. He said: No, but restore it to dust as it was. So they did.
