Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair:
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ الشَّهِيدِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ} قَدْ نَسَخَتْهَا الأُخْرَى، فَلِمَ تَكْتُبُهَا قَالَ تَدَعُهَا. يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لاَ أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا .
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."
