The Holy Quran 19:28 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأُخْتَ هَـٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمْرَأَ سَوْءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا

Translation

"O sister of Haaroon! Your father was never an evil (wicked) person, neither was your mother adulterous (unchaste. How then are you such?)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

(A note.) Maryam was addressed as يٰٓاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ (“O sister of Harun!”) because she was descended from Harun ﵇, the brother of Musa.
