وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِنَا أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ نَبِيًّا سورة مريم آية 53 يُقَالُ لِلْوَاحِدِ وَللْاثْنَيْنِ وَالْجَمِيعِ نَجِيٌّ وَيُقَالُ خَلَصُوا نَجِيًّا اعْتَزَلُوا نَجِيًّا وَالْجَمِيعُ أَنْجِيَةٌ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ .
And from Our mercy, We made for them their brother Harun (Aaron), a prophet. The word «نجي.» is used for singular, dual, and plural. In Surah Yusuf, it is said: «خلصوا نجيا.» meaning, he went aside to consult (if the word «نجي.» is used for the singular). Its plural will be «أنجية». In Surah Al-Mujadila, the word «يتناجون» is also derived from this.
حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ سَمِعْتُ
عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ
عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا : "فَرَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى خَدِيجَةَ يَرْجُفُ فُؤَادُهُ فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ إِلَى وَرَقَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا تَنَصَّرَ يَقْرَأُ الْإِنْجِيلَ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ : " وَرَقَةُ مَاذَا تَرَى فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَرَقَةُ هَذَا النَّامُوسُ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَإِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي يَوْمُكَ أَنْصُرْكَ نَصْرًا مُؤَزَّرًا النَّامُوسُ صَاحِبُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي يُطْلِعُهُ بِمَا يَسْتُرُهُ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ " .
Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet returned to Khadija while his heart was beating rapidly. She took him to Waraqa bin Naufal who was a Christian convert and used to read the Gospels in Arabic Waraqa asked (the Prophet), "What do you see?" When he told him, Waraqa said, "That is the same angel whom Allah sent to the Prophet) Moses. Should I live till you receive the Divine Message, I will support you strongly."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Among the prophets of Bani Israel, Musa (alayhis salam) is a very eminent prophet.
His virtuous mention has appeared in numerous verses.
His birth and his entire subsequent life were among the great signs of Allah’s power.
He confronted the tyrannical ruler of his time, who used to call himself the “Supreme Lord” (the greatest lord).
Without a heavenly book, and relying only on hidden revelation (wahy khafi), that is, the blessed hadiths, he confronted him.
In the end, that ruler was wiped from the face of existence and became a lesson for those who came after.
This achievement of Musa (alayhis salam) is one that will be remembered as long as the world remains.
➋
In this hadith, a statement of Waraqah bin Nawfal is the point of reference:
“This is the confidant (keeper of secrets) whom Allah, the Exalted, sent down to Musa (alayhis salam).”
By this is meant the angel of revelation, Jibril (alayhis salam).
➌
After drowning Pharaoh, Allah, the Exalted, granted Musa (alayhis salam) a sacred book like the Torah, which was entirely guidance and light.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
In this entire hadith, the mention is of the descent of the first revelation (wahy).
Allah Ta’ala said:
He taught man by the pen.
If Allah Ta’ala had not inspired man with the method of the pen and writing, then man’s intellectual abilities would have remained extremely limited and confined.
This is the general practice of Allah Ta’ala, but the knowledge of the noble Prophets (alayhim as-salam) is not dependent on this pen.
Similarly, when a human being comes out from the mother’s womb, at that time he is also without knowledge; then Allah Ta’ala, even before the use of the pen, teaches him many things.
