حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ شُبَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ کُنَّا نَتَکَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يُکَلِّمُ أَحَدُنَا أَخَاهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ حَتَّی نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ حَافِظُوا عَلَی الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَی وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ فَأُمِرْنَا بِالسُّکُوتِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4536
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair: I said to `Uthman, "This Verse which is in Surat-al-Baqara: "Those of you who die and leave widows behind...without turning them out." has been abrogated by another Verse. Why then do you write it (in the Qur'an)?" `Uthman said. "Leave it (where it is), O the son of my brother, for I will not shift anything of it (i.e. the Qur'an) from its original position."
