Al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh Min Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem

This article is extracted from the translation of Itqan fi Uloom al-Quran

by Shaykh-ul-Islam Imam Jalaluddin As-Suyuti (rahimahullah).

A countless number of scholars have written works on this topic. And these include: "Abu 'Ubaid al-Qasim b. Sallam, Imam Abu Dawud al-Sijistani, Abu Ja'far al-Nahhas, Ibn al-Anbari, Makki, Ibn al-Arabi, and others. The learned elders have said: "No one is allowed to interpret the Book of Allah except after he is thoroughly familiar with Ayaat that abrogate or have been abrogated. Sayyidina Ali (karramallahu wajhahu) once asked a judge: "Are you familiar with Ayaat that abrogate or have been abrogated?" The judge replied: "No!" Ali then said: "You ruin yourself and others!" This section deals with several issues.

First: the word naskh may be used in the following contexts: To obliterate as in the Ayah: " ...but Allah obliterates that which the devil casts and then establishes His Ayaat..." (22:52)

1. To replace, as in the Ayah: "When We replace one Ayah with another..." (16:101)
2. To change hands, as occurs in matters of succession, where the inheritance changes hands from one person to another.
3. To transcribe from place to place. Thus it is said: "I have transferred the book." that is, "I have transcribed its words and its text to another location." Makki maintains that it is incorrect to include this category in the Qur'an, and he has strongly criticized al-Nahhas for allowing it. He argued that the abrogator in this case, appears not in the words of the abrogated but in words that are different. And al-Sa'idi has argued that al-Nahhas's assertion is supported by the Ayah: "We have been recording what you were doing"(45:29); and the Ayah: "It is indeed, with us, in the Mother of all Books, it is exalted and full of wisdom" (43:4) It is well known that that which appears as a summary in the Qur'an exists in its entirety in the Well Preserved Tablet, as the Almighty says: "In a Book, well preserved; which none but the pure ones may touch." (56:78-79)
