The Prophet ﷺ said, "None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a man from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called him. He said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of nothing but mud.'

(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah ! Make my child like him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.' The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet ﷺ sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.' When she asked why, the child replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي الْمَهْدِ إِلاَّ ثَلاَثَةٌ عِيسَى وَكَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُرَيْجٌ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَجَاءَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَدَعَتْهُ فَقَالَ أُجِيبُهَا أَوْ أُصَلِّي فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى تُرِيَهُ وُجُوهَ الْمُومِسَاتِ وَكَانَ جُرَيْجٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ فَتَعَرَّضَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَأَبَى فَأَتَتْ رَاعِيًا فَأَمْكَنَتْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا فَقَالَتْ مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ فَأَتَوْهُ فَكَسَرُوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ وَأَنْزَلُوهُ وَسَبُّوهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَتَى الْغُلاَمَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبُوكَ يَا غُلاَمُ قَالَ الرَّاعِي قَالُوا نَبْنِي صَوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ مِنْ طِينٍ

وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُرْضِعُ ابْنًا لَهَا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ رَاكِبٌ ذُو شَارَةٍ فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ ابْنِي مِثْلَهُ فَتَرَكَ ثَدْيَهَا وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الرَّاكِبِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى ثَدْيِهَا يَمَصُّهُ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَمَصُّ إِصْبَعَهُ ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِأَمَةٍ فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلِ ابْنِي مِثْلَ هَذِهِ فَتَرَكَ ثَدْيَهَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَتْ لِمَ ذَاكَ فَقَالَ الرَّاكِبُ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَهَذِهِ الأَمَةُ يَقُولُونَ سَرَقْتِ زَنَيْتِ وَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ

Juraij, it is your mother, so talk to her. She found him at that time absorbed in prayer, so he said (to himself): O Lord, my mother (is calling me) (whereas I am absorbed) in my prayer. He opted for prayer. She (his mother) went back, then came again for the second time and said: O Juraij, it is your mother (calling you), so talk to me. He said: O Allah. there is my mother also and my prayer, and he opted for prayer. She said: O Allah, this Juraij is my son. I pray to talk to him but he refuses to talk to me. O Allah, don't bring death to him unless he has seen the prostitutes, and had she invoked the curse upon him (from the heart of her heart) he would have been involved in some turmoil. There was a shepherd living near by his temple (the temple where Juraij was engaged in prayer). It so happened that a woman of that village came there and that shepherd committed fornication with her and she became pregnant and gave birth to a child. It was said to her: Whose child is this? She said: He is the child of one who is living in this temple. So there came persons with hatchets and spades. They called Juraij. He was absorbed in prayer and he did not talk to them and they were about to demolish that temple that he saw them and then came to them and they said: Ask her (this woman) what she says. He smiled and then touched the head of the child and said: Who is your father? He (the child) said: My father is the shepherd of the sheep, and when they heard this, they said: We are prepared to rebuild with gold and silver what we have demolished from your temple. He said: No, rebuild it with clay as it had been before. He then went up (to his room and absorbed himself in prayer).

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Among the Children of Israel, there was a man called Jurayj who used to worship in a monastery. One day, his mother came to him and called him. He said, 'O Jurayj, what is it? What is more honorable for me to do? Pray or listen to my mother?' He chose to continue with his prayer. She called him again and again, saying the same thing. He kept choosing prayer over his mother. So she said, 'O Allah, do not cause him to die until he sees the life of prostitutes.' She used to take care of sheep for her family and then she would return to her cell in the monastery. She committed adultery and became pregnant. When they asked her, 'Who is responsible for this?' She said it was Jurayj, the owner of the monastery. They brought knives and tools and said, 'O Jurayj, come out, there is a dispute.' He refused to come out and continued with his prayer. So they destroyed the monastery. When Jurayj saw this, he came out and they put a rope around his and the adulterous woman's necks, parading them in front of the people. He placed his finger on her stomach and asked, 'Child, who is your father?' She replied, 'My father is so-and-so, the shepherd.' They kissed him and said, 'If you wish, we will rebuild your monastery with gold and silver.' He said, 'No, rebuild it as it was before.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Only three spoke in the cradle: Jesus, son of Mary, and the companion of Jurayj. Jurayj was a man among the Children of Israel, called Jurayj. He built a hermitage and worshipped Allah in it. One day, his mother came and called him, but he did not respond to her. Then she came to him a second day, and called him, but he did not respond to her. Then she came to him a third day, and said, 'My prayer and my mother, O Allah, do not let him die until he has seen the faces of the adulteresses.' Then, the children of Israel gathered one day, and spoke ill of Jurayj. They said, 'If you want us to think well of him, test him.' They said, 'We have already thought about it.' So she went and appeared before Jurayj, but he did not respond to her. Then she went to a shepherd who used to seek shelter in the hermitage of Jurayj with his sheep, and she tempted him. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. She said, 'He is from Jurayj.' So some people from the Children of Israel came and beat him, insulted him, and condemned his hermitage. He asked them, 'What is your problem?' They said, 'You fornicated with this woman, and she gave birth to a child.' He said, 'Where is the child?' They said, 'Here he is.'"

[Machine] Imran ibn Husayn narrated to us, saying: We were discussing righteousness in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he began to narrate to us. He said: Among the nations before you, there was a man who was deeply devout; his name was Jurayj. He had a mother, who would come and call him in order to honor him and talk to him. One day, she came to him while he was in prayer, facing towards her, and she called him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated that Jurayj put his hand on his forehead, and she continued to call him, raising her head and putting her hand on her forehead, repeating the name "Jurayj" three times, each time repeating it three times. Jurayj said, "My Lord or my prayer?" His mother became angry and said, "O Allah, let Jurayj not die until he sees the faces of the adulterous women." The daughter of the ruler of the town heard this supplication and became pregnant and gave birth to a son. They asked her, "Who did this to you? Who is your companion?" She said, "He is the man of the prayer cell, Jurayj." He did not pay attention to this until he heard people talking about it and accusing him. When he saw this, he took a rope, tied it to a tree, and let them pull it through his nose and beat him, saying, "You are deceiving people with your actions." He said to them, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "You are the one who got the daughter of the ruler pregnant, aren't you?" He said, "What did she do?" They said, "She gave birth to a boy." He asked, "Is the boy alive?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Leave me alone." Then he performed two Rak'ahs of prayer, and when he finished, he walked to a tree and took a branch from it. Then he went to the boy, who was in his cradle, and struck him with that branch, saying, "O tyrant, who is your father?" The boy replied, "My father is so-and-so, the shepherd." They said, "If you wish, we will rebuild your prayer cell with gold, or if you prefer, with silver." He said, "Restore it as it was." Abu Harb claimed that Jurayj did not speak until only three people did so: 'Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary), the witness of Yusuf (Joseph), and the companion of Jurayj.

"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ جُرَيجًا الرَّاهِبَ كَانَ مُتَعَبِّدًا فِي صَوْمَعة ومِنْ بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ أَمٌ تأتِيهِ فَتَقُولُ: يَا جُرَيجُ فَتَقْطَع صَلاته فيكلمها، فأَتَتْهُ يَوْمًا فَجَعلَتْ تُنَادِي يَا جُرَيجُ، فَجَعَل لا يُكَلِّمُها وَلا يَقْطعُ صَلاتَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أمِّي وَصَلاتِي فَلا يُكَلِّمها، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ الْعَجُوز ذَلِكَ وَخَرَجتْ وَقَالَتْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ جُرَيْج يَسْمَع كَلامِي وَلا يُكَلِّمني فَلاَ تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى يَنْظَر فِي أعْيُنِ الْمُومِسَاتِ، وَكَانَتْ رَاعِيةٌ وَرَاعٍ يَأوِيان إلَى دَيره فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا الرَّاعِي فَحَمَلتْ، وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْقَريةِ يعظمون الزِّنَا إِعْظَامًا شَدِيدًا، فَلَمَّا وَلَدتْ أَخْذْهَا أَهْلُ القَرْيَةِ فَقَالُوا: مِمَّن؟ فَقَالَتْ: مِنْ جُرَيْج الرَّاهِب نَزَل فَوَقَع بِي فَحَمَلْتُ، فأَتَاهُ قَوْمهُ فَنَادَوهُ يَا جُرَيْجُ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ قَوْمِي وَصَلاِتي، وَجَعَلَ لا يُكَلِّمهمُ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوا ذَلِكَ ضَرَبَوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ بِالْفُؤُوسِ، فَلمَّا كان ذلك نَزَل إِلَيْهم فَقَالَ: مَا لكُم؟ قَالَوا: ذَكَرتْ هَذِه أَنّهَا وَلَدَتْ مِنْكَ فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى ركْعَتَيْن، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأسِ الْمَوْلُودِ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبُوكَ؟ قَالَ: الرَّاعي الذي كَانَ يَأوِي مَعَهَا إلَى ديرِكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَوْمُهُ ذَلِكَ جَزعُوا ذَلِكَ مِمَّا صَنعُوا بِهِ، وَقَالُوا: دَعَنَا نَبْنِي صَوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ قَالَ: لَا، أَعِيدُوهَا عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ، قَالَ قَوْمهُ: وَلِمَ ضَحِكْتَ وَنَحْنُ نُرِيدُ بِكَ مَا نُريد مِنْ القَتْلِ والشِّتْمِ؟ قَالَ: ذَكْرتُ دَعْوَةَ وَالِدتِي حَتَّى أَنْظُر فِي أَعْيُنِ الْمُومِسِاتِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ دَعْوتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُخْزِيهُ لأَخْزَاهُ، وَلكِنَّها دَعَتْ أَن يَنْظُر فَنَظَر".
