Story of a man called Juraij

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,"There was an Israeli mancalled Juraij, while he
was praying, his mother came and called him, but he didnot respond to
her call. Hesaid (to himself) whether he should continue the prayer or
reply to his mother. She came to him the second time and called him
and said, "O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees the faces of
prostitutes." Juraij used tolive in a hermitage. A woman said that she
would entice Juraij, so shewent to him and presented herself (for an
evil act) but he refused. She then went to a shepherd and allowed him
to commit an illegal sexual intercourse with her and later she gave
birth to a boy. She allegedthat the baby was from Juraij. The people
went to Juraij and broke down his hermitage, pulled him outof it and
abused him. He performed ablution and offered the prayer, then he went
to the male (baby) and asked him; "O boy! Who is your father?" The
baby replied that his father was the shepherd. The people said that
they would build for him a hermitage of gold but Juraij asked them to
makeit of mud only." Source: Sahih Bukhari (Volume 3, Book 43, Number
662)
Allah's help is with those who are sincere to their faith.
