Abu al-Walid Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik narrated to us. He said: 'Ikrimah ibn 'Ammar narrated to us. He said: Abu Kathir al-Suhaymi narrated to me. He said: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: No Jew or Christian has heard of me without loving me. I wanted my mother to accept Islam, but she refused. I told her, but she refused. I came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: “Invoke Allah for her.” He did so. I went to her, and she had closed the door upon herself. She said: “Abu Hurayrah, I have accepted Islam.” I informed the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: “Invoke Allah for me and my mother.” He said: “O Allah, Your servant Abu Hurayrah and his mother—make them beloved to the people.”
