"And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as regards their marriage) for four months and ten days. Then when they have fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and honourable manner (i.e., they can marry). And Allāh is Well-Acquainted with what you do." (V.2:234)

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."

Arabic text

4530 - حَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قُلْتُ: لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا} [البقرة: 234] قَالَ: قَدْ نَسَخَتْهَا الآيَةُ الأُخْرَى، فَلِمَ تَكْتُبُهَا؟ أَوْ تَدَعُهَا؟ قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لاَ أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ»
