Hadith 26
26/34 (حسن) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: مَا سَمِعَ بِي أَحَدٌ، يَهُودِيٌّ وَلَا نَصْرَانِيٌّ إِلَّا أَحَبَّنِي، إِنَّ أُمِّي كُنْتُ أُرِيدُهَا عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَتَأْبَى، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا فَأَبَتْ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: ادع الله لَهَا، فَدَعَا، فَأَتَيْتُهَا وَقَدْ أَجَافَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْبَابَ - فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي وَلِأُمِّي، فَقَالَ: "اللَّهُمَّ! عَبْدُكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأُمُّهُ، أَحِبَّهُمَا إِلَى النَّاسِ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who says: Whoever among the Christians and Jews hears about me, will love me. Whenever I tried to persuade my mother to accept Islam, she would refuse. I asked her (once again to become Muslim), but she refused. So I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: Pray to Allah for my mother. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed. After that, I went to my mother. She had closed the door. She said: O Abu Hurairah! I have become Muslim. I informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: Pray for me and my mother. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: «اللَّهُمَّ ، عَبْدُكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأُمُّهُ ، أَحِبَّهُمَا إِلَى النَّاسِ» "O Allah! Your servant Abu Hurairah and his mother—make both of them beloved in the eyes of the people."
