وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " كَانَ فِي بِنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَاجِرٌ ، وَكَانَ يُنْقِصُ مَرَّةً ، وَيَزِيدُ أُخْرَى ، فَقَالَ : مَا فِي هَذِهِ التِّجَارَةِ خَيْرٌ ، لَأَلْتَمِسَنَّ تِجَارَةً هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، فَبَنَى صَوْمَعَةً وَتَرَهَّبَ فِيهَا [ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُرَيْجٌ ] " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ جَيِّدٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Among the Children of Israel there was a merchant whose trade would sometimes decrease and at other times increase. He thought: 'There is no good in this trade; I must seek a trade that is better than this.' So he built a hermitage and took up a life of monasticism in it. His name was Jurayj."
Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is jayyid (good).
