[6509] 8 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "No one spoke in the cradle except three: 'Eisâ bin Mariam, and the companion of Juraij. Juraij was a man devoted to worship, and he made a hermitage for himself where he used to stay. His mother came to him when he was praying and said: 'O Juraij!' He said: 'O Lord, my mother or my prayer?' And he continued praying and she left. The next day, she came when he was praying and said: 'O Juraij!' He said: 'O Lord, my mother or my prayer?' And he continued praying and she left. The next day she came to him and said: 'O Juraij!' He said: 'O Lord, my mother or my prayer?' And he continued praying. She said: 'O Allāh, do not cause him to die until he looks at the faces of prostitutes.' "The Children of Israel began to speak of Juraij and his worship. There was a prostitute who was very beautiful, and she said: 'If you wish, I will tempt him for you.' So she presented herself to him but he did not pay any attention to her. She went to a shepherd who lived near his hermitage and let him have his way with her, and she became pregnant. When she gave birth, she said: 'He is from Juraij.' They went to him and asked him to come down, and they destroyed his hermitage and started beating him. He said: 'What is the matter with you?' They said: 'You committed Zinā with this prostitute and she bore you a child.' He said: 'Where is the boy?' They brought him, and he said: 'Let me pray.' So he prayed, and when he had finished, he came to the child and poked him in the stomach, and said: 'O boy, who is your father?' He said: 'So-and-so, the shepherd.' They came to Juraij and kissed him and touched him (seeking blessing). They said: 'We will rebuild your hermitage in gold.' He said: 'No, just put it back as it was, of clay.' So they did that. "While a child was nursing from his mother, a man passed by riding a fine horse and dressed in a fine garment. His mother said: 'O Allāh, make my son like this man.' The child left the breast and turned to look at him, then he said: 'O Allāh, do not make me like him.' Then he turned back to the breast and resumed nursing." He said: "It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ describing his suckling by placing his forefinger in his mouth and sucking on it." He (ﷺ) said: "They (the mother and the child) passed by a girl whom they were beating and saying: 'You committed Zinā and stole,' and she was saying: 'Sufficient for me is Allāh and He is the best disposer of affairs.' His mother said: 'O Allāh, do not make my son like her.' (The child) stopped nursing and looked at her, and said: 'O Allāh, make me like her.' Then she started to talk to him (the child). She said: 'O you shaven-headed one! A good-looking man passed by and I said: 'O Allāh, make my son like him,' and you said: 'O Allāh, do not make me like him.” Then they passed by with this slave woman whom they were beating and saying: “You committed Zinâ and you stole,” and I said: “O Allâh, do not make him like her,” and you said: “O Allâh, make me like her.” “He said: ‘That man was a tyrant, so I said: “O Allâh, do not make me like him.” And this woman of whom they said: “You committed Zinâ and stole,” – she did not commit Zinâ or steal, so I said: “O Allâh, make me like her.”
