Who were those who spoke in the cradle?
Only three spoke in the cradle: Jesus, the companion of Jurayj, and the witness of Yusuf. However, other hadiths mention four: Jesus, the witness of Yusuf, the companion of Jurayj, and the son of Pharaoh's hairdresser. Another states that the child who testified for his mother in the story of the People of the Ditch spoke in the cradle, making the number six. Al-Dahhak claimed that Yahya spoke in the cradle, and Al-Baghawi mentioned that Ibrahim Al-Khalil spoke in the cradle. The Prophet (peace be upon him) and Mubarak Al-Yamamah also spoke during the Prophet's time (peace be upon him). There is a difference of opinion regarding the witness of Yusuf, whether he was young or bearded.
