1206. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A woman called her son while he was in his hermitage and said, 'O Juraij!'. He said, 'O Allāh, my mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my Salāt (prayer) (what shall I do)?' She again said, 'O Juraij!'. He said again, 'O Allāh! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my Salāt (prayer) (what shall I do)?' She again said, 'O Juraij!'. He again said, 'O Allāh! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my Salāt (prayer) (what shall I do)?' She said, 'O Allāh! Don't let Juraij die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.' A shepherdess used to come by his hermitage for grazing her sheep and she gave birth to a child. She was asked whose child that was, and she replied that it was from Juraij and that he had come out from his hermitage. Juraij said, 'Where is that woman who claims that her child is from me?' (When she was brought to him along with the child), Juraij asked the child, 'O Bābūs(1), who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.'" (See Hadīth No. 2482, Vol.3).
