Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34068 — Reports on Yahya bin Zakariyya
٣٤٠٦٨ - حدثنا وكيع بن الجراح عن إسرائيل عن سماك عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس ﴿لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا﴾ [مريم: ٧]، قال: لم يسم أحد قبله يحيى (١).
Ikrimah reports from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: The explanation of "We have not given this name to anyone before" [Maryam: 7] is that no one before him had been named Yahya.
