1944. It was narrated that 'Āishah 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 Allāh ﷺ died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.” (Hasan)
1944 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وعَنْ 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَشَاغَلْنَا بِمَوْتِهِ، دَخَلَ دَاجِنٌ فَأَكَلَهَا»

[1] Nearly all of the scholars hold the view of the rest of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, as recorded by Muslim and others (similar here under no. 1947), that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ would say: "The rest of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ refused to have anyone enter upon them based upon such suckling. They said to 'Āishah: 'By Allāh! We see that this is but an allowance that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ granted to Sālim specifically. So no one enters upon us based on this suckling, nor sees us.'" And regarding the suckling itself, Nawawi mentioned that Qādi 'Iyād said: "Perhaps she expressed the milk, then he drank it without touching."
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'ān. It is proven from other Ahādīth that the latest rule regarding the prohibition of fosterage is for suckling five times, and this is the preferred view.
