He said: "Jurayj used to worship in his hermitage, and his mother came to him and said: 'Jurayj, I am your mother, speak to me.'" Abū Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to describe to us how she looked when she said this, and he placed his right hand on his forehead like this." Mūsā said in his narration: And Sulaymān placed his right hand on his right eyebrow. As for Shaybān, he said in his narration: And Abū Rāfiʿ described to us how Abū Hurayrah described the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that "when she called him, how she placed her palm above her eyebrow, then raised her head calling him, and said: 'Jurayj, I am your mother, speak to me.' She found him praying. He said: 'O Allah, my mother and my prayer,' and he chose his prayer. So she went back. Then she came to him a second time and said: 'Jurayj, I am your mother, speak to me.' He said: She found him praying. He said: 'O Allah, my mother and my prayer,' and he chose his prayer. Then she came to him a third time and said: 'Jurayj, I am your mother, speak to me.' She found him praying. He said: 'O Allah, my mother and my prayer,' and he chose his prayer. So she said: 'O Allah, this is Jurayj, and he is my son. I spoke to him and he refused to speak to me. O Allah, do not let him die until You show him the prostitutes.'" He said: "Had she prayed against him that he be put to trial, he would have been put to trial." He said: "There was a shepherd of sheep who used to take shelter at his monastery. A woman from the village went out and he had relations with her, and she conceived and gave birth to a boy. It was said to her: 'Whose is this?' She said: 'The owner of this hermitage' - and Mūsā said: 'The owner of this monastery.' So they came at him." He said: "They came with their axes and their spades and called out to him, and found him praying, and he did not speak to them. So they began to demolish his monastery. When he saw that, he came down to them. They said to him: 'Ask this woman.' So he wiped the head of the boy," and in one narration: "he smiled, then wiped the head of the boy and said: 'Who is your father?' He said: 'My father is the shepherd of the sheep.' When they heard that from him and saw what they saw, they said: 'We will rebuild what we demolished of your monastery with gold and silver.' He said: 'No, but restore it as earth as it was.'" Shaybān added in his narration: He said: "Then he went up to it."
