Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
I am most akin to the son of Mary among the whole of mankind and the Prophets are of different mothers, but of one religion, and no Prophet was raised between me and him (Jesus Christ).
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one."
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
I am most akin to Jesus Christ among the whole of mankind, and all the Prophets are of different mothers but belong to one religion and no Prophet was raised between me and Jesus.
But we read in S 7:150 And when Musa returned to his people angry, sorry, he said: Miserable was what you substituted for me after me. Did you hurry your lord’s affair? And he threw the tablets and took his brother by the head dragging him to him. He said: Mother’s son, the people found me weak and were about to kill me. So do not cause the enemies to rejoice over me and do not put me with the wrongdoing people.
and:
S 20:94 He said: Mother’s son, do not take me by my beard or by my head. I feared to say: You have distinguished between Banu Isra’il and have not waited for my speech.
Harun and Musa have the same mother.
Was Harun a prophet?
S 4:163 We have inspired you as we inspired Nuh and the prophets after him and we inspired Ibrahim and Isma’il and Ishaq and Ya’qub and the tribes and Isa and Ayyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulayman and we gave Dawud a Zabur.
Side remark: The tribes were inspired?
S 19:53 And we gave him from our mercy his brother Harun, a prophet.
