حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَذْكُرُهُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ، قَالَ: فَقَالُوا: أَرَأَيْتَ مَا تَقْرَءُونَ يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى قَبْلَ عِيسَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ (١) لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا أَخْبَرْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمَّوْنَ بِالْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) sent me towards "Najran." The Christians there said to me, "You people recite this verse: 'O sister of Harun' (the people addressed Maryam (peace be upon her) in this way upon the miraculous birth of Isa without a father), whereas Musa (whose elder brother was Harun) passed away so long before Isa (so how could Maryam be his sister?)" When I returned, I mentioned this to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not reply to them that the people of old used to name their children after the Prophets and righteous people."
