al-Hujurat 49:11
This verse is said to have been given when Safiyah, one of the Prophet's wives, complained that she had been taunted by the other women with her Jewish origin. Muhammad answered her, "Canst thou not say `Aaron is my father, Moses is my uncle, and Muhammad is my husband.'" (see al-Baizawi, in loco.) (Hughes's Dictionary of Islam, p. 423)
