19:28 Mary is here called by the Jews the “sister of Aaron” to point out her lineage from the sister of Aaron and Moses. In the same sense Elizabeth, the wife of Zachariah, is called daughter of Aaron (Luke 1.5) and Jesus is called the son of David and the son of Abraham (Matthew 1.1). In Arabic akhأخ and ukht أُخْتَ have broader meanings than just indicating nearest kin. Allâh says, “We sent towards the tribe of Thamûd their brother Sâlih” (11:61) and again, “We sent to the tribe of Âd their brother Hûd” (11:52). From the Islamic books of Tradition we know that Safiyya, the wife of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), who belonged to the Jewish tribe from Khaibar, was once taunted because of her Jewish origin. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) told her to say, “My father was Aaron and Moses was my uncle and I am the wife of Muhammad (pbuh)” (Ibn Jarîr 16:52).
