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