    Now, this "hadith" belongs to Omar, not to the prophet, so it is not a prophetic saying, but a "omaric" one. Does God say "obey the companions"?

    Also, what was the prophet doing losing verses? Isn't it his job to deliver? Do you imply that he was not that honest or careful? Or is this a result of him being "illiterate" he did not know what was written and what was missing? What an insult to the prophet!! You should be ashamed of what you believe.

    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)

      Just great! God causes the verse to be forgotten, but Omar remembers it brickwall
      According to this hadith, it seems that neither the prophet nor his lord are doing a good job! Omar beat them both and Bukhari beat the hell out of muslims.

      And what, in your opinion, was the better or similar substitution, or any substitution of this alleged lost-and-found verse?

        Allah caused the WORDING of the verse to be forgotten. Even Hazrat Omar (ra) did not remember the wording of the ayatur rajm. However, he was among many of the sahaba who were witnesses to the tanzil of Holy Quran, and he knew for a fact that a verse commanding stoning to death for adultery had indeed been revealed in the Holy Quran, though he did not remember the wording of the verse (which is why it isnt found in the Holy Quran), because the wording was caused to be forgotten/abrogated by Allah (though the ruling of the verse still applies).

        So I suggest you consult the following resource to learn more about this matter

          Unfortunately your link uses only hadith as proof, and since those cannot be trusted they fail to prove anything. All we can know for sure is that the Quran does not have in it any verses telling us to stone adulterers therefor it should not be done.

          Peace,

          Nurd

            Peace Nurd and all,

            Yusha has been warned about this issue. If he is to talk about hadith he is supposed to be doing it in the appropriate section on this board.

              Dear brother, I am using the HOLY QURAN to justify my arguments and beliefs. Please go through my posts and see the sheer number of verses which I have quoted.

                I have gone through your posts just today, the one here with the link, the other one in the Latest news section, where you quote a verse which is fine, and then you continue to validate your point with hadith.

                Peace

                  well, I don't think the "revelatiions" in 2106 is referring to verses but doesn't it say that god does not allow revelations to be forgotten?

                    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.

                          Yusha, 2106 says that NONE of the revelations are abrogated or caused to be forgotten. They are NOT abrogated or caused to be forgotten by god. 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,

                                Nurd

                                  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.

                                      You are absolutely right. If they know Arabic, they will know that "nasakha" means to copy, not to abrogate.

                                        Peace Samia,
                                        I don't think the verse makes much sense that way. Could you translate the whole verse?
