وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ نَادَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ابْنَهَا، وَهْوَ فِي صَوْمَعَةٍ قَالَتْ يَا جُرَيْجُ‏.‏ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي‏.‏ قَالَتْ يَا جُرَيْجُ‏.‏ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي‏.‏ قَالَتْ يَا جُرَيْجُ‏.‏ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي‏.‏ قَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ يَمُوتُ جُرَيْجٌ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ فِي وَجْهِ الْمَيَامِيسِ‏.‏ وَكَانَتْ تَأْوِي إِلَى صَوْمَعَتِهِ رَاعِيَةٌ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ فَوَلَدَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهَا مِمَّنْ هَذَا الْوَلَدُ قَالَتْ مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ نَزَلَ مِنْ صَوْمَعَتِهِ‏.‏ قَالَ جُرَيْجٌ أَيْنَ هَذِهِ الَّتِي تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ وَلَدَهَا لِي قَالَ يَا بَابُوسُ مَنْ أَبُوكَ قَالَ رَاعِي الْغَنَمِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Al-Layth said: Ja'far narrated to me, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hurmuz, who said: Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

A woman called her son while he was in a hermitage. She said, ‘Juraij!’ He said, ‘O Allah, my mother and my prayer!’ She called, ‘Juraij!’ He said, ‘O Allah, my mother and my prayer!’ She called, ‘Juraij!’ He said, ‘O Allah, my mother and my prayer!’ She said, ‘O Allah, may Juraij not die until he sees the faces of prostitutes.’ A shepherdess who used to come to his hermitage to graze sheep gave birth. She was asked, ‘Whose child is this?’ She said, ‘Juraij’s; he came down from his hermitage.’ Juraij said, ‘Where is this woman who claims that her child is mine?’ He said, ‘O Babus, who is your father?’ The child replied, ‘The shepherd.’
