بَابُ:« يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ»
Chapter: "O sister of Aaron"
Hadith 8672
عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ قَالَ فَقَالُوا أَرَأَيْتَ مَا تَقْرَءُونَ يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى قَبْلَ عِيسَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَخْبَرْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ بِالْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ
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: {یَا اُخْتَ ھَارُوْنَ} … 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.
