حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ جُرَيْجٌ، يُصَلِّي، فَجَاءَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَدَعَتْهُ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يُجِيبَهَا، فَقَالَ أُجِيبُهَا أَوْ أُصَلِّي ثُمَّ أَتَتْهُ، فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى تُرِيَهُ الْمُومِسَاتِ. وَكَانَ جُرَيْجٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لأَفْتِنَنَّ جُرَيْجًا. فَتَعَرَّضَتْ لَهُ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَأَبَى، فَأَتَتْ رَاعِيًا، فَأَمْكَنَتْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا، فَقَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ. فَأَتَوْهُ، وَكَسَرُوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ فَأَنْزَلُوهُ وَسَبُّوهُ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَتَى الْغُلاَمَ، فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبُوكَ يَا غُلاَمُ قَالَ الرَّاعِي. قَالُوا نَبْنِي صَوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ مِنْ طِينٍ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There was an Israeli man called Juraij, while he was praying, his mother came
and called him, but he did not respond to her call. He said (to himself) whether he should continue the
prayer or reply to his mother. She came to him the second time and called him and said, "O Allah! Do
not let him die until he sees the faces of prostitutes." Juraij used to live in a hermitage. A woman said
that she would entice Juraij, so she went to him and presented herself (for an evil act) but he refused.
She then went to a shepherd and allowed him to commit an illegal sexual intercourse with her and
later she gave birth to a boy. She alleged that the baby was from Juraij. The people went to Juraij and
broke down his hermitage, pulled him out of it and abused him. He performed ablution and offered the
prayer, then he went to the male (baby) and asked him; "O boy! Who is your father?" The baby
replied that his father was the shepherd. The people said that they would build for him a hermitage of
gold but Juraij asked them to make it of mud only."
Narrated by Narrated Abu Huraira:
Context
This hadith narrates the story of Juraij, a devout man who prioritized his prayers over responding to his mother's call. His mother, feeling neglected, prayed for him to witness immoral acts. Eventually, he was falsely accused of fathering a child due to a woman's deception. This narrative highlights the conflict between familial duties and personal devotion, as well as the consequences of actions based on assumptions.
Modern Application
In contemporary life, this story serves as a reminder to balance personal commitments with family responsibilities. It encourages individuals to communicate openly with loved ones and to consider the potential repercussions of their choices on family dynamics.
Topics
This hadith is tagged with Justice and Family because it illustrates the consequences of actions taken in the name of devotion and the importance of maintaining family ties.

Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims."

O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that they will not associate anything with Allah, nor will they steal, nor will they commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs, nor will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
