Narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me towards Najran, so those people asked me: Do you recite like this: {یَااُخْتَھَارُوْنَ} … O sister of Harun! While Musa (peace be upon him) passed long before ‘Isa (peace be upon him), (so how could Maryam, the mother of ‘Isa, be his sister?) When I returned, I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: You should have told them that those people used to name themselves after the pious people and prophets who came before them.
