فِي

in

نَفْسِهِ

himself

أَنَّ

that

was mentioned

هُنَا

here

that this Aaron who was mentioned here

هُوَ

is

هَارُونُ

Aaron

أَخُو

the brother of

مُوسَى

Moses

upon him

السَّلَامُ

be peace.

may peace

اللَّهُ

of God

عَلَيْهِ

be upon him

بِأَنَّ

by [explaining] that

بَنِي

the Children of

إِسْرَائِيلَ

Israel

that the Children of Israel

كَانُوا

used to

يَسَمَّوْنَ

name [their children]

بِأَسْمَاءِ

by the names of

الصَّالِحِينَ

the righteous

مِنَ

from

الْمَاضِينَ

the predecessors

فَهَارُونُ

so Aaron

لَيْسَ

is not

شَخْصاً

وَاحِداً

one,

(so Aaron is not a single person,

بَلْ

rather

هَارُونُ

Aaron

أَخُو

the brother of

مَرْيَمَ

Mary

rather Aaron the brother of Mary

غَيْرُ

is other than

هَارُونَ

Aaron

is other than Aaron the brother of Moses

عَلَيْهِمَا

upon both of them

السَّلَامُ

be peace.

upon both of them be peace).

وَكَذَلِكَ

لَمَّا

when

سَأَلُوا

they asked

رَسُولَ

the Messenger of

اللَّهِ

God

And likewise when they asked the Messenger of God

صَلَّى

may peace

اللَّهُ

of God

عَلَيْهِ

be upon him

وَسَلَّمَ

and blessings

may peace and blessings of God be upon him
