Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (oh sister of aaron!) o you who resembles aaron in worship-aaron was a righteous man, one of the best among people-; and it is also said that aaron was an evil man and so they compared her to him; and it is also said that aaron was her half brother from her father side. (your father was not a wicked man) your father was not an adulterer (nor was your mother a harlot) nor was your mother a whore.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : o sister of aaron — he was a righteous man, in other words [what is meant is], o you who are like him in [terms of] chastity — your father was not a wicked man, that is, a fornicator, nor was your mother unchaste’, that is, a fornicatress: so how is it that you have this child?
