Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to the people of Najran. They asked me, “You people recite { یَا أُخْتَ ہَارُونَ }, even though there is a long interval of years between Moses and Jesus?” I did not know the answer to their question. Until I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him this question, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why did you not tell them that those people used to name themselves after the names of the previous prophets and the righteous?”
