حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، وَأَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ ، فَقَالُوا لِي : أَلَسْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ وَقَدْ كَانَ بَيْنَ عِيسَى ، وَمُوسَى مَا كَانَ ، فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا أُجِيبُهُمْ ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا أَخْبَرْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ .
´Narrated Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me to Najran. They said to me: 'Do you people not recite: O sister of Harun (19:28) - while between Musa and 'Eisa there is such (gap) as there is?' I did not know how to respond to them. So when I returned to the Prophet (ﷺ), I told him about that, and he said: 'Why didn't you tell them that they were named after their Prophets and righteous people before them.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: O sister of Harun, your father was not a wicked man, nor was your mother unchaste.

2؎: Then this statement is incorrect, because here the address is to Maryam, and she is called the sister of Harun. Harun was the brother of Musa, and there is a long interval between the times of Musa and Isa (alayhimas-salam). So how can it be correct to call Maryam the sister of Harun?

3؎: That is, the Harun mentioned in the verse is Maryam’s brother, and the Harun who was the brother of Musa is someone else.
