Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7498 — We were discussing righteousness and good

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، نَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الرَّازِيُّ ، نَا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ : تَذَاكَرْنَا الْبِرَّ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو حَرْبٍ :
تَذَاكَرْنَا الْبِرَّ عِنْدَ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، فَقَالَ : تَذَاكَرْنَا الْبِرَّ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا قَالَ : إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ رَجُلٌ مُتَعَبِّدٌ صَاحِبُ صَوْمَعَةٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : جُرَيْجٌ ، فَكَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ - أَوْ أُمٌّ - ، فَكَانَتْ تَأْتِيهِ فَتُنَادِيهِ ، فَيُشْرِفُ عَلَيْهَا فَيُكَلِّمُهَا ، فَأَتَتْهُ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيْهَا ، فَنَادَتْهُ ، - فَحَكَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ - ، فَجَعَلَتْ تُنَادِيهِ رَافِعَةً رَأْسَهَا إِلَيْهِ ، وَاضِعَةً يَدَهَا عَلَى جَبْهَتِهَا : أَيْ جُرَيْجُ ، أَيْ جُرَيْجُ ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، كُلُّ مَرَّةٍ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ جُرَيْجٌ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أُمِّي أَمْ صَلَاتِي ؟ فَغَضِبَتْ ، فَقَالَتِ : اللَّهُمَّ لَا يَمُوتَنَّ جُرَيْجٌ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمُومِسَاتِ I " .
قَالَ : I " وَبَلَغَتْ بِنْتُ مَلِكِ الْقَرْيَةِ ، فَحَمَلَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا ، فَقَالُوا لَهَا : مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا بِكِ ؟ ؟ مَنْ صَاحِبُكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : هُوَ صَاحِبُ الصَّوْمَعَةِ جُرَيْجٌ ، فَمَا شَعَرَ جُرَيْجٌ حَتَّى سَمِعَ بِالْفُئُوسِ فِي أَصْلِ صَوْمَعَتِهِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَسْأَلُهُمْ ، وَيْلَكُمْ مَا لَكُمْ ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَخَذَ الْحَبْلَ فَتَدَلَّى ، فَجَعَلُوا يَجِئُونَ أَنْفَهُ ، وَيَضْرِبُونَهُ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : مُرَاءٍ مُخَادِعٌ النَّاسَ بِعَمَلِكَ ، قَالَ : وَيْلَكُمْ مَا لَكُمْ ؟! قَالُوا : أَبِنْتُ صَاحِبِ الْقَرْيَةِ بِنْتُ الْمَلِكِ الَّتِي أَحْبَلْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : فَمَا فَعَلَتْ ؟ قَالُوا : وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا ، قَالَ : الْغُلَامُ حَيٌّ هُوَ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَتَوَلُّوا عَنِّي ، فَتَوَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا غُصْنًا ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْغُلَامَ وَهُوَ فِي مَهْدِهِ ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِذَلِكَ الْغُصْنِ ، وَقَالَ : يَا طَاغِيَةُ ، مَنْ أَبُوكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَبِي فُلَانٌ الرَّاعِي ، قَالُوا : إِنْ شِئْتَ بَنَيْنَا لَكَ صَوْمَعَتَكَ بِذَهَبٍ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ بِفِضَّةٍ ، قَالَ : أَعِيدُوهَا كَمَا كَانَتْ .
فَزَعَمَ أَبُو حَرْبٍ ، أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي الْمَهْدِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ : عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ، وَشَاهِدُ يُوسُفَ ، وَصَاحِبُ جُرَيْجٍ I " .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ - وَهُوَ : أَخُو الْمُبَارَكِ - إِلَّا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ ، وَلَا يُرْوَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ I " .
Al-Mufaddal bin Fadalah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We were discussing righteousness and good conduct in the presence of Abu Harb bin Abi al-Aswad al-Dili (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abu Harb (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"We were discussing righteousness in the presence of Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: We were discussing righteousness in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to tell us a story. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Among the nations before you there was a devout worshipper who lived in a hermitage (a place of worship), called Jurayj. He had a woman - or (he said:) a mother - who would come to him and call him, and he would look down at her from above and speak with her. One day she came to him while he was engaged in his prayer, and she called him - (the narrator said:) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), imitating her manner, placed his hand on his forehead - she was calling him with her head raised towards him and her hand placed on her forehead: O Jurayj! O Jurayj! (three times, and each time three times over). Every time, Jurayj kept saying: O my Lord, my mother (should I answer her) or my prayer (should I continue it)? So she (the mother) became angry and said: O Allah, do not let Jurayj die until he looks upon the faces of prostitutes.'
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Then the daughter of the king of the town reached maturity, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. The people asked her: Who did this to you? Who is your companion? She said: It is Jurayj, the man of the hermitage. Jurayj knew nothing of it until he heard the sound of axes at the foundations of his place of worship. He began asking them: Woe to you! What is the matter with you? They gave him no answer. When he saw this, he took hold of a rope and let himself down. The people began striking him on his nose, and as they beat him they said: You show-off! You who deceive people with your deeds! He said: Woe to you! What is the matter with you? They said: The daughter of the master of the town, that is, the king's daughter, whom you made pregnant? He asked: Then what became of her? They said: She has given birth to a boy. He asked: Is the boy alive? They said: Yes. He said: Move away from me. So he moved aside and prayed two rak'ahs, then went to a tree and took a branch from it. Then he came to the child, who was in his cradle, struck him with that branch and said: O rebellious one! Who is your father? He (the child) said: My father is such-and-such a shepherd. The people (ashamed) said: If you wish, we will build your place of worship of gold, and if you wish, of silver. He said: Rebuild it just as it was before.'
Abu Harb (may Allah have mercy on him) held that only three spoke in the cradle: Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him), the witness of Yusuf (peace be upon him), and the child of the story of Jurayj."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Mufaddal bin Fadalah - who is the brother of al-Mubarak - except Abu Zuhayr, and it is not narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain."
