ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانُوا يُسَمَّوْنَ فِي زَمَانِهِمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Najran and said to me, 'O people of Najran, do you not recite this verse: "O sister of Harun, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste" and you are already aware of what happened between Musa and Isa?' So, I did not know how to respond to them until I arrived in Madinah to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I mentioned it to him, and he said to me, 'Why did you not inform them that they were called by the names of prophets and righteous people before them?'"
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلُ نَجْرَانَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ امْرَأَ سُوءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيَّا} وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ مَا بَيْنَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى؟ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي «أَفَلَا أَخْبَرْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ بِالْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ؟ »
