4530. Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair: I said to 'Uthmān bin 'Affān (while he was collecting the Qur'ān) regarding the Verse: "And those of you who die and leave behind wives ..." (V.2:240) — "This Verse was abrogated by another Verse. So why should you write it? (Or leave it in the Qur'ān)?" 'Uthmān said, "O son of my brother! I will not shift anything of it from its place."
