حضرت مریمؑ کو ہارون کی بہن کہا گیا ہے اس پر مسیحی اعتراض کرتے ہیں کہ قرآن مجیدنے جہالت سے مریمؑ اُ مِّ عیسیٰؑ کو وہ مریم سمجھ لیا ہے جو ہارونؑ اور موسٰیؑ کی بہن تھی مگر ان کا اعتراض خود ان کی جہالت پر دلالت کرتا ہے۔ تمام اقوام میں رواج ہے کہ بچوں کے نام بزرگوں کے نام پر رکھتے ہیں۔ مریمؑ کے کسی بھائی کا نام بھی اگر ہارون ہو تو کیا تعجب ہے۔ اسے موسیٰ کا بھائی قرار دینا خود مسیحیوں کی ایجاد ہے۔ قرآن مجیدنے ایسا نہیں کہا۔ یہ سوال خود رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے بھی کیا گیا تھا۔ اور آپ نے وہی جواب دیا تھا جو میں نے دیا ہے (دیکھیئے فتح البیان جلد۶ صفحہ۱۶)
The question of Mary having been called the sister of Aaron in the Qur’an was put before the Holy Prophet himself and he asked the questioner if he did not know that the Israelites used to name their children after their Prophets and saints (Bayan, vol. 6, p. 16; Jarir, vol. 16, p. 52). Mary has been here called the sister of Aaron and not that of Moses though both were brothers, for, whereas Moses was the founder of the Jewish Law, Aaron was the head of the Jewish priestly class (Enc. Bib. & Enc. Brit. under "Aaron"), and Mary also belonged to the priestly order. Tabari has related an incident from the life of the Holy Prophet which gives an insight into the meanings of such Arabic words as ab, ‘am, ukht, etc. When Safiyyah, the Holy Prophet’s wife, and incidentally a Jewess by descent, once complained to the Holy Prophet that some of his other wives had called her a Jewess in contempt, the Holy Prophet told her to return the taunt by saying that Aaron was her father, Moses
Commentary:
Some Christian writers in their ignorance of the Arabic language have accused the Quran of an historical anachronism inasmuch as it has spoken of Mary as sister of Aaron. Instead of regretting their own ignorance they have blamed theQuran of ignorance. The question of Mary having been called the sister of Aaron in the Quran was put before the Holy Prophet himself and he told the questioner whether he did not know that the Israelites used to name their children after their Prophets and saints (Bayan, vol. 6, p. 16; Jarir vol. 16, p. 52).

Tabari has related an incident from the life of the Holy Prophet which gives us an insight into the meanings of the Arabic words اب(ab), عم (‘amm),اخت (ukht) etc. When once Safiyyah, the Holy Prophet’s wife, and incidentally a Jewess by descent, complained to the Holy Prophet that some of his other wives had called her a Jewess in contempt, the Prophet told her to return the taunt by saying that Aaron was her father, Moses her uncle and Muhammad her husband. Surely, the Holy Prophet knew that Aaron was not Safiyyah’s father nor Moses her uncle. This tradition shows that the application of these Arabic words is by no means confined to the above-mentioned blood relations.
Mary might have been called a sister of Aaron by way of reproach or taunt inasmuch as another Mary, the real sister of Aaron and Moses’ stepsister or his sister-in-law, had charged him (Moses) with having unlawfully married a woman (Numbers 12:1). A reference to this accusation is also to be found in the Quran in 33:70. Thus the elders of the Jews, by calling Jesus’ mother sister of Aaron, meant that as Mary, the sister of Aaron had, by accusing Moses of unlawfully marrying a woman, committed a heinous crime, so did she, like her namesake, commit a heinous act of giving birth to an illegitimate child. See also 3:36.
