Islamic Stories -, Story of a man called Juraij

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,"There was an Israeli man called Juraij, while he
was praying, his mother came and called him, but he did not respond to
her call. He said (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 to live in a hermitage. A woman said that
she would entice Juraij, so she went to him and presented herself (for
anevil 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 alleged that the baby was from Juraij. The
people went to Juraij and broke down his hermitage, pulled him out of
it and abused him. He performed ablution and offered theprayer, then
he went to the male (baby) and asked him; "O boy! Who is your father?"
The babyreplied that his father was the shepherd. The people said that
they would build for him a hermitage of gold but Juraij asked them to
make it of mud only." Source: Sahih Bukhari (Volume 3, Book 43, Number
662)
Allah's help is with those who are sincere to their faith.
