4) The other chapters containing neither abrogated nor abrogators
They are 43 chapters from the total of 114 chapters of the quran
By a simple calculation we can
recognize the chapters containing the abrogator
And abrogated
Either by subtracting 114 – 43
= 71 chapters
Or by the summation of the chapters
containing abrogation
6 + 25 + 40 = 71 chapters
Actually the issue of abrogation is very serious problem in Islam,
as the quran is saying in the women chapter (Surat An-Nisa') 82:" Had it
been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradiction”
Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ibiary said about the verses containing abrogator
and abrogated "there are around 144 sites had been counted (1)
He mentioned only 60 sites as an example, they are:
1- (20 chapters) in each 1 verse had been changed =
20 verses
2- (18 chapters) in each 2 verses had been changed =
36 verses
3- (6 6chapters) in each 3 verses had been changed =
18 verses
4- (3 chapters) in each 4 verses had been changed =
12 verses
5- (2 chapters) in each 5 verses had been changed =
10 verses
6- (2 chapters) in each 6 verses had been changed =
12 verses
7- (2 chapters) in each 7 verses had been changed =
14 verses
8- (1 chapter) in which 8 verse had been changed =
8 verses
9- (1 chapter) in which 9 verses had been changed =
9 verses
10- (1 chapter) in which 10 verses had been changed =
10verses
11- (1 chapter) in which 11 verses had been changed =
11 verses
12- (1 chapter) in which 15 verses had been changed =
15 verses
13- (1 chapter) in which 24 verses had been changed =
24 verses
14- (1 chapter) in which 30 verses had been changed =
30 verses
___________
The sum
229 verses
For example:
- In Surat Yunus: 8 verses
- in Surat Al-Ma'idah': 9 verses
- in Surat Aal-’Imran: 10 verses
- in Surat At-Taubah: 11 verses
- In Surat Al-An’am:15 verses
- in Surat An-Nisa’: 24 verses
- In Surat Al-Baqarah: 30 verses
Those are the abrogated verses in 60 sites only out of 144 sites mentioned
by Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ibiary
Types of the abrogator and abrogated:
1) Those with abrogated letter and conserved verdict
2) Those with abrogated verdict and conserved letter
3) Those with abrogated verdict and letter
1) Those with abrogated letter and conserved verdict
First: the stoning of the adulterous and adulteress verse
Narrated on Ibn Al-Jozy: Omer Ibn Al-Khatab said: God sent Mohammed
(PUH) telling the truth , and gave him the book , of the verses revealed
to him was the stoning verse :" the sheikh (adulterous man), and sheikhah
(adulteress woman) if they had committed adultery, stone them", so we recited
,understood and realized it , the prophet had stoned , and we stoned with
him " Omer affirmed that saying: "I was about to write it by my own hands
, but I didn't do that fearing that one may say that I wrote something
in God's book" (2)
Second: the adult sucking verse:
In Sahih Muslim:”Mrs. Aeisha said” among the descended verses there were ten known sucks, they had been abrogated by five known sucks , till the messenger of God died they were among the recited verses of the quran (3)
Imam Abu-Gaafer Al-Nahas confirmed that saying:” Mrs. Aeisha was persistently admitting the existence of the adult sucking” (4)
Ibn-Al-Goosy mentioned the story of adult sucking saying: narrated Mrs. Aeisha,: the adult sucking verse, was in a paper under my bed, when the prophet (PUH) was sick, we were very busy looking after him, a goat came and ate it, then the prophet died, that verse was among the recited quran verses” (5)
Abu-Gaafer Al-Nahas mentioned that:” Sahla, the daughter of Sohil came
to the prophet (PUH) saying: my husband (Abe Hozifa) was upset as he was
seeing Salem coming to me (Salem was an adopted boy of them, but the adoption
was abated by the prophet because of the story of Zaied ibn hartha when
the prophet married his wife and cancelled the adoption), the prophet
told her :then you suckle him (meaning that to let Salem suck from her,
in order to let him be like a son of her so he will be debarred for
her, so her husband will not be upset from him anymore), she replied but
How could I suckle a grown up man?, the prophet said: I know well that
he is a grown up man, she went and allowed that man to suck from her and
came back to the prophet saying : I have suckled him, and now my husband
is not upset anymore from him when he comes to me” (6)
2) Those with abrogated verdict and conserved letter
Among them were the verses concerning peace and forgiveness those descended
while Muhammad was in Makkah as he was a peaceful man , there were about
124 verses inciting for living in peace and preaching forgiveness, all
of those verses were abrogated by two verses of the Repentance chapter
(Surat At-Taubah), the sword and fighting verses:
- Repentance chapter (Surat At-Taubah): 5." when the Sacred Months
have passed, then kill the disbelievers”
- Repentance chapter (Surat At-Taubah) 29:" Fight against those who
believe not in Allah, nor in the last day, nor forbid that which has been
forbidden by Allah and his messenger and those who acknowledge not the
religion of truth (Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians),
until they pay the tribute with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued"
- Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ibiary said: there were about 144 verses into them
about 229 abrogated verdicts with conserved text, those were the verses
concerning peace and forgiveness
- Ibn Al-Araby said that all what came in the quran of the peace and
forgiveness verses had been abrogate by the sward verses (7)
