Overview
Harun ibn Imran, brother of Musa and his vizier. He is one of the prophets mentioned in the Qur'an, and the museum treats him as a prophetic figure within the scriptural frame.
The Prophet cited his rank with respect to Musa in a hadith that al-Bukhari transmits from Ali, in which he said, in substance: "Are you not content to be to me as Harun was to Musa?" 1
In the hadith of the Night Journey he saw him among the heavens. 2
