An error resulting from a slip of the tongue does not affect the validity of the contract, for what matters is what is in the heart. If you intended the seller's sister, then the contract is valid between you and Allah. A slip of the tongue is among what Allah has pardoned because it is involuntary and a human characteristic for which one is not held accountable.
