حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُنْکَدِرِ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ کَانَتْ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ إِذَا جَامَعَهَا مِنْ وَرَائِهَا جَائَ الْوَلَدُ أَحْوَلَ فَنَزَلَتْ نِسَاؤُکُمْ حَرْثٌ لَکُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَکُمْ أَنَّی شِئْتُمْ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4530
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair: I said to `Uthman bin `Affan (while he was collecting the Qur'an) regarding the Verse:-- "Those of you who die and leave wives ..." (2.240) "This Verse was abrogated by an other Verse. So why should you write it? (Or leave it in the Qur'an)?" `Uthman said. "O son of my brother! I will not shift anything of it from its place."
