4481. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما رضي الله عنه ‘Umar said, “Our best Qur’ān reciter is Ubayy and our best judge is ‘Alī; and in spite of this, we leave some of the statements of Ubayy because Ubayy says, ‘I do not leave anything that I have heard from Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ,’ while Allāh تعالى said: ‘Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it...’” (V.2:106)

4481 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: " أَقْرَؤُنَا أُبَيٌّ، وَأَقْضَانَا عَلِيٌّ، وَإِنَّا لَنَدَعُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أُبَيٍّ، وَذَاكَ أَنَّ أُبَيًّا يَقُولُ: لاَ أَدَعُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ". وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا} [البقرة: 106]
