The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'No human child has ever spoken in the cradle except for Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, and the associate of Jurayj.' The Prophet of Allah was asked, 'Who was the associate of Jurayj?' The Prophet said: 'Jurayj was a monk who lived alone in his hermitage. There was a cow-herd who used to take shelter at the foot of his hermitage, and a woman from the village used to come to the cow-herd. One day his mother came and called, "Jurayj" while he was praying. He asked himself, "My mother or my prayer?" He thought that he should prefer the prayer. She shouted to him a second time and he asked himself, "My mother or my prayer?" He thought he should prefer the prayer. She shouted a third time and again he asked himself, "My mother or my prayer?" He thought he should prefer the prayer. When he did not answer her, she said: "Jurayj, may Allah not let you die until you have looked in the face of the prostitutes." Then she left.
Then the village woman was brought to the king after she had given birth to a child. He asked, 'Whose is it?' She replied, 'Jurayj's.' He asked, 'The man in the hermitage?' She answered, 'Yes.' He ordered, 'Destroy his hermitage and fetch him to me.' His hermitage was hacked down with axes until it collapsed. Jurayj's hand was bound to his neck with a rope and he was dragged along and paraded through the district of the prostitutes. He saw them and smiled. They were staring at him along with the other people. The king said, 'Do you know what this woman claims?' He asked, 'What does she claim?' He said, 'She claims you are the father of her child.' He asked her, 'Is this what you claim?' 'Yes' she replied. Then he asked, 'Where is the child?' They replied, 'It is the one who is in her lap.' He turned to the child and asked, 'Who is your father?' He [the baby] said, 'The cow-herd.' The king said, 'Shall we build your hermitage out of gold?' He replied, 'No.' He asked, "Of silver?' He answered, 'No.' The king asked, 'Then of what shall we make it?' He said, 'Put it back the way it was.' The king then asked, 'What made you smile?' He said, 'Something that I knew. My mother's supplication overtook me.' Then he told him about it.

heres some more from "The Jinn - In the Quran & Sunnah" by Mustafa Ashour, il upload them 1 by 1 in time iA
Makhul Abu Uthman (RA) narrated that once when Isa (AS) was praying at the top of a mountain, Iblis came to him and said "Don't you believe in the determination and the decree? Isa (AS) said "Indeed I do". So he said to Isa "Then throw yourself over the edge and only what Allah has decreed for you will befall you." Isa (AS) retorted "The Lord puts his slave to the test and tries him. Its is not proper for the slave to test his Lord.
again from "The Jinn - In the Quran & Sunnah" by Mustafa Ashour
It says in Tablis Iblis, When Nuh (AS) embarked on the ship, he saw an old man whom he did not recognise. Nuh (AS) said to him "How have you come on board?" He replied "I have come on in order to afflict the hearts of your companions so that their hearts will be with me and their bodies with you" Nuh (AS) said "Get away, enemy of Allah! Iblis said "There are 5 things by which people are destroyed. I will tell you three of them and not tell you the other two". Allah (SWT) said to Nuh (AS) "There is no need for the three. Command him to tell you about the two". He said "People are destroyed by those two which are envy and avarice. Envy was cursed and became an accursed shaytan. Adam (AS) was allowed the entire Garden but because of avarice I got what I needed from him and he was expelled from the Garden".
