Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with one of his wives when another of the Mothers of the Believers sent a servant with a bowl containing food. The wife with him struck it with her hand and broke the bowl. He gathered the pieces, put the food into it, and said, ‘Eat.’ He kept the servant and the bowl there until they had finished eating. Then he gave the servant the intact bowl and kept the broken one. Ibn Abi Maryam also said: Yahya ibn Ayyub informed us: Humayd narrated to us: Anas narrated to us, from the Prophet.

Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Jarir ibn Hazim narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘There was a man among the Children of Israel named Jurayj who was praying when his mother came and called him. He did not answer her. He wondered, “Should I answer her or continue praying?” Then she came to him and said, “O Allah, do not let him die until You show him the faces of immoral women.” Jurayj lived in a hermitage. A woman said, “I will surely tempt Jurayj.” She approached him and spoke to him, but he refused. She then went to a shepherd and made herself available to him. She gave birth to a boy and said, “He is Jurayj’s.” The people came to him, broke his hermitage, brought him down, and reviled him. He performed ablution and prayed, then went to the boy and asked, “Who is your father, boy?” He replied, “The shepherd.” They said, “We will build your hermitage of gold.” He said, “No—only of clay.”’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic says the boy identified the shepherd as his father. The term for Jurayj’s dwelling is a hermitage or prayer cell; the source does not specify its construction before the offer to rebuild it.
