The questioner : May Allah reward you. Why did we say that the five were a recited Qur'anic text, the five that abrogated the ten? Is it not possible that they were abrogated through the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : No, Aisha said they were abrogated, but she did not specify what the abrogating factor was. It is possible that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed them of it, or it could be a verse that is not known to us; we do not know.
The questioner : So that we are not forced to say, for example, that it was abrogated by five verses of the Qur'an, and then the wording of this Qur'an was abrogated?
The Shaykh : No, no, because she said they were abrogated by five, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while it was still among the recited parts of the Qur'an.
The questioner : Ten were recited from the Qur'an.
The Shaykh : No, five.
