هارون عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ
Harun (Aaron)
Musa asked Allah to make his brother Harun a helper from his family, to strengthen him and share his task. Allah granted this request and, out of His mercy, made Harun a prophet. When Musa went to meet his Lord for forty nights, he left Harun in charge of his people, telling him to set things right and not follow the corrupt.
From the Quran
وَٱجۡعَل لِّي وَزِيرٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِي
And appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -
هَٰرُونَ أَخِي
Aaron, my brother.
ٱشۡدُدۡ بِهِۦٓ أَزۡرِي
Increase through him my strength
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا
And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.
۞وَوَٰعَدۡنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَٰثِينَ لَيۡلَةٗ وَأَتۡمَمۡنَٰهَا بِعَشۡرٖ فَتَمَّ مِيقَٰتُ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَرۡبَعِينَ لَيۡلَةٗۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَٰرُونَ ٱخۡلُفۡنِي فِي قَوۡمِي وَأَصۡلِحۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them],[400] and do not follow the way of the corrupters."
