The Arrangement of the Abrogating and Abrogated Verses in the Mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And our Shaykh, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), mentioned an example regarding lineage, which is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away regarding this doubt, and the abrogating verse precedes the abrogated verse, and both are in Surat al-Baqarah, so clarification is required.
Answer:
Yes, they say there is no objection to the preceding verse being the abrogating one and the later verse being the abrogated one in the Mushaf; rather, it is the revelation that differs. As for the writing in the Mushaf, this does not prevent this verse from being before that one. This is regarding the writing, but regarding the revelation, the abrogating verse must necessarily be later than the abrogated verse. Yes.
