Hadith 9603

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَاجِرًا ، وَكَانَ يَنْقُصُ مَرَّةً ، وَيَزِيدُ أُخْرَى ، فَقَالَ : مَا فِي هَذِهِ التِّجَارَةِ خَيْرٌ ، أَلْتَمِسُ تِجَارَةً هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، فَبَنَى صَوْمَعَةً ، وَتَرَهَّبَ فِيهَا ، وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُرَيْجٌ " , فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the Children of Israel there was a man who was a merchant; sometimes he would incur a loss in trade and sometimes a profit. He thought to himself, "What kind of trade is this? It is better that I find such a trade in which there is only profit." So he built a church and began to live a monastic life in it. His name was Jurayj. After that, the narrator mentioned the previous hadith in full.
