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.”
