[5598] 9 - (2135) It was narrated that Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah said: "When I came to Najrân, they asked me: 'You recite (the Verse) 'O sister of Hârûn,[1] but Mûsâ came such-and-such a number of years before 'Eisâ.' So when I returned I asked Allâh's Messenger about that, and he said: 'They used to name their children after the Prophets and the righteous who came before them.'" [1] Mariam 19:28.

Arabic text

9 - (2135) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ نَجْرَانَ سَأَلُونِي، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ، وَمُوسَى قَبْلَ عِيسَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ»
