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."
