5005. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, "Ubayy was the best of us in the recitation (of the Qur'an), yet we leave some of what he recites." Ubayy says, "I have taken it from the mouth of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and will not leave for anything whatever." But Allāh 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)
