The Abrogating
مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا ۗ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ {106}
Whatever We Abrogate from a Verse or Cause it to be forgotten, We Come with better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is Able upon all things? [2:106].
العياشي: عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، في قوله: ما نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِها نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْها أَوْ مِثْلِها. قال: «الناسخ ما حول، و ما ينساها مثل الغيب الذي لم يكن بعد، كقوله: يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ ».
Al-Ayyashi, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding His-azwj Words Whatever We Abrogate from a Verse or Cause it to be forgotten, We Come with better than it or similar to it [2:106]. He-asws said: ‘The Abrogating (Verse) is what is around, and what it Abrogates, is like the unseen which does not exit afterwards, like His-azwj Words Allah Deletes whatever He so Desires to and Establishes, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39]’.
قال: «فيفعل الله ما يشاء و يحول ما يشاء، مثل قوم يونس إذ بدا له فرحمهم، و مثل قوله: فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَما أَنْتَ بِمَلُومٍ – قال-: أدركهم برحمته
He-asws said: ‘Thus, Allah-azwj does whatever He-azwj so Desires to and Turns around whatever He-azwj so Desires to, like the people of Yunus-as, when He-azwj Changed for him-as, so He-azwj was Merciful to them, and like His-azwj Words: Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame [51:54]’. He-asws said: ‘Made them aware of His-azwj Mercy’.[1]
