Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, you mentioned that the wording of the verse of stoning was abrogated while the ruling remained. What is the wisdom behind the abrogation of the recitation and the preservation of the ruling?
Answer:
Allah knows best; it is something that no one knows except Allah. There is a matter where the ruling was abrogated but the text remained, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:180] This was abrogated by the laws of inheritance; it was abrogated by the laws of inheritance. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 3641Hasan (Darussalam) But the verse remained as a text. Similarly, the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:240] from the pool. This was abrogated by the verse before it: [Al-Baqarah 2:234] But its wording remained to be recited, while its ruling was abrogated. Yes, and Allah is Wise and All-Knowing, Glorified and Exalted is He.

for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives
عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَThe Messenger of Allah delivered a Khutbah and said: 'Allah has given every person who has rights his due, and there is no bequest to an heir.'
صلى الله عليه وسلم إن الله قد أعطى كل ذي حق حقه ولا وصية لوارثAnd those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance
وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا وَصِيَّةً لِّأَزْوَاجِهِم مَّتَاعًاAnd those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]
وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا
