Sunan Ibn Majah 1944

It was narrated that 'Aishah said:

“The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، . وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ وَرَضَاعَةُ الْكَبِيرِ عَشْرًا وَلَقَدْ كَانَ فِي صَحِيفَةٍ تَحْتَ سَرِيرِي فَلَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَشَاغَلْنَا بِمَوْتِهِ دَخَلَ دَاجِنٌ فَأَكَلَهَا .

Notes

Commentary from Darussalam Publications:

The part about tame sheep is weak in this narration since Ibn Ishaaq is present in the chain, narrating with 'an.' The other narration with the same narrators, where Imam Maalik is present in the chain, is a stronger narration (e.g., Muslim 1452a and Muwatta), and that narration does not mention tame sheep.

a. These are such Verses that their recitation has been abrogated, while the rule remained in force; therefore, the Companions did not write it in the copy of the Qur'an.

b. It is proven from other Ahādith that the latest rule regarding the prohibition of fosterage is for suckling five times, and this is the preferred view.

حاشية

تخريج: [إسناده حسن] أخرجه أحمد: ٦/٢٦٩ من حديث ابن إسحاق حدثني عبد الله بن أبي بكر به، طريق عمرة بنت عبد الرحمن فقط، واللفظ لهذا الطريق، أخرجه مالك: ٢/٦٠٨ موطأ، ومن طريقه مسلم، ج: ١٤٥٢ عن عبد الله بن أبي بكر به لم يذكر قصة الداجن، وهاتان الآيتان كانتا منسوختان القراءة لأن لا تكتبان في القرآن، والقرآن كامل كما تركه رسول الله لم يزد فيه حرف ولم ينقص منه شيء، والحمد لله.
