Remembering the true nature of our enemy
-
Allah is the one who causes verses to be forgotten, which are part of His own plan.
None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things? (2106)
Wait, because before the "do We abrogate" is written "None of Our revelations". This means it talks about revelations, books, right? Then we have "but We substitute something better or similar" This means the stoning have been subsitued to something better or similar, right?
Tell me if 'im wrong here please.

Good point, Yosemite. You do not bring a new verse in order to abrogate it by an older one! Why the trouble in the first place?

The wording of the verse of stoning has been caused to be forgotten (by Allah). It has been replaced by something similar, which is found in the Ahadeeth.
but We substitute something better or similar

Unless I'm reading that verse wrong
Yes, you're reading it wrong. Here is the full verse in English
None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things? (2106)

I can see the words here, but I cannot understand how it is you can interpret it the way you do.
God does not cause revelations to be abrogated or forgotten. Sometimes though we will substitute something better.
So your interpretation that god caused a verse to be forgotten so that it could be substituted by hadith goes completely against the words you are quoting from the Quran.
Peace,

This is why people should have some knowledge of Arabic when understanding the Holy Quran. If you interpret it strictly from English rendering you are bound to have misconceptions. So let me provide you with alternative English translations of the same verse
Such of Our revelations as We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things? (2106 PICKTALL)
Any message which We annul or consign to oblivion We replace with a better or a similar one. Dost thou not know that God has the power to will anything? (2106 ASAD)

Peace,
I think this verse is not talking about books. It's talking about signs of this universe. When a certain knowledge is lost, a new one takes it's place.
The truth always remains the same, and it always survives (as part of this creation). The truth can't be abrogated or taken away, obviously. -
Rough translation
Any verse We copy/confirm or make forgotton We bring one similar to it or better.
Copied/confirmed bring similar
Make forgotten bring betterAny rule in previous Revelations that was confirmed has been copied in the quraan
What has been forgotten is replaced by a better oneSo we do not need to search for the original past scripts. We have what is confirmed of them.
Also, the verb "nasakha" or its derivatives is mentioned four times in the quraan, all in this meaning.
