Hadith-
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، . وَعَنْ 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 ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَتَشَاغَلْنَا بِمَوْتِهِ دَخَلَ دَاجِنٌ فَأَكَلَهَا .
It was narrated that 'Aishah 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 Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a Goat/sheep came in and ate it [1]
English : Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1944
Arabic : Book 9, Hadith 2020
Sunan Ibn Majah
verify of hadith's purity:-
Scholars of hadith claimed that the narration of hadith was facing some problems.
one of discriper of this hadith,Muhammad bin ishaq who used the arabic word عن,for this reason,the hadith's quality be weak.He is tadlist[2] ,because tadlist means the descripers that give mistakes in the identity of their upper discripers are called a tadlist. [3]
Hadith book,Musnad Ahmad has same narration of this hadith.Shaykh Shu'i'ib Arnaut (R), his,Musnad Ahmad commented on the hadith as certified - Za'eef (weak).And there are nails (commentary) in the Naktach
(hadith is facing some problems, for this reason this hadith will be cancelled ).[4]
Although Shaikh Albani (Rah) of this hadith said Hasan. But since most of the Muhadshis discusses it is undoubtedly illuminated that it is weak hadith. [5]
This hadith does not question the purity of the Quran in any way:
If this hadith was a Sahih too, it would not have been evidence that the Qur'an is not saved.
because-
1)According to this verse, the 'lost' verses of 'Lost' in the verses of 'Lost' was about Rajam
{Married men or women's adultery, then to put them in the death with throwing peeble-stone,this punish called rajam.}}
But in other different descriptions, we see to revealed more verses about the order as Rajam
But the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade to write it as part of the Qur'an.From this it is understood that it was not an integral part of the Qur'an.The descriptions are bellowed-
(a)Narrated from Kasir Bin Salat: Ieven (Bin Sabit) says: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say," When a married man or woman adultery, do rajam both of them. "When I heard it) "When it was revealed, I came to the Prophet (ﷺ), and I wanted to know whether it was recorded. He disliked it {Prophet (ﷺ)}. "
[6]
(b) kasir Bin Salat said about this verse: He (Kasir), Johaid Bin Sabit and Marwan bin Hakam were discussed why it was not recorded in the Qur'an?Umar bin Khattab (ra) was with them and listened to their discussion. He said that he knows better than them in this regard.
He told them that he (umar) went to Rasulullah (ﷺ) and asked,
يا رسول الله أكتبني آية الرجم قال لا استطيع ذاك "
O Messenger of Allah, let me
write the verse of Rajam He {Rasulullah (ﷺ)} said, "I can not do that." [7]
If the verse of the discussion was it not as part of the Quran, then why did not Allah's apostle (ﷺ) permission to write it?It is understood that it was one of those mansukuk or abolished verse that was temporarily revealed for a specific period.Therefore, the disciples or the Umm al-Mu'minins 'have lost this verse,' it is absolutely vanity/languid.The second verse is claimed to be "lost", it is related to ten of the Gulping as drink milk elderly.But indeed, it is also Mansukk or abolished verse. A description of this in Sahih Muslim is as bellow-
عن عائشة
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ
رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ عَشْر
بِخَمْسٍ مَعْلُومَات
فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
فِيمَا يُقْرَأُ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ وَهُن
Described from Aisha (ra). He said that the Qur'an was revealed that ten times the marriage of milk is haram/ mahram is sabit.Then it becomes abolished driking milk by five times.Then the Messenger (ﷺ) died, and they were recited as verses of the Quran. " [8]
The laws of five-time,drinking milk is also a standard or abolished law.
There is a description of the Ummm-Mu'minin (ra) self.
Sahla Binat Suhail (RA) was tribe of Amir Ibn Luai, and he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said-O Messenger of Allah, we accepted Salim as a son.When he entered my room and when I wear a cloth (meaning-head is empty).And my house is only one. What is your opinion about this?Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said - our opinion is that feed milk him in five times.........
............................Other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) refused to enter a man with feed milk.They used to say, {to Aisha (RA)} By swear of Allah, we believe that the Rasool (ﷺ) just permited Sahla Bin Suuulayail (ra). For Salim (ﷺ) there was Rukhsat on behalf of the Rasool (ﷺ).By swear of Allah, no one can enter us by feeding such milk.All the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) adhered to this view. ”[9]
By these accounts, it is clearly understood that the law of feeding milk in five times and ten times were abolished.
Also note that - As long as the Quran has been compiled, Aisha (ra) was alive in his full time.Aisha (RA) was a significant opinion of the collection of the compilation by Abu Bakar (ra) & usman (ra).Especially in Usman (RA) was verified from Aisha (RA) during the compilation of the Quran (RA). [10]
If true, such a great accident happened to be lost in the verses of the Quran,Then Aisha would have drawn the attention of the Companions of prophet muhammad (pbuh) to that.At that time, a large number of Hafiza(memoriers) companions were alive, who himself learned the Qur'an from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).But Aisha (ra) never did anything like that.And if it is also the verses of the Qur'an, it was actually ate by goat from the bottom of the bed of Aisha (ra).
And Aisha (RA) did not draw attention to any disciples, but also pressed, (Nauzubillah)) [Such conspiracies theories preach any Christian missionaries]
However, it is not possible to prove this theory "some verses of the Qur'an lost."Because the Qur'an is basically not a book written, but the memorable book of countless people.Since revealing , Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Companions memorized it.From the beginning of Ramadan, prophetmuhammad (pbuh) Taajjjud, Tarabih prayer and , have completing read of quran in the countless time. The same situation in all ages.The writting of the Qur'an is just helpful only. Quran is a text book of Every believer from the first landing of the Qur'an.Every day, belivers in his prayer, the United prayer and generally read it or hear it.Thousands of Hafeezs, Sahabi-Tabii was spread to the Muslim world.So, if the verses 2-1why?, if all the verses of the Qur'an have eaten by goat, then a verse "lost" was not possible.Because thousands of Hafeez companions and Tabiyi were in that era who were preserved in the memory of the memory.From that era today the same situation. So, due to eating by the Goat, some verses have been lost forever - it is a joke complaint.Even today, all the written manuscripts of the Qur'an, PDF copy, online Quran, the mobile apps of the Qur'an are destroyed,
Even then a letter of the Qur'an will not be lost. Because Hafeez (memorier) of the Qur'an is spread all over the world.From their memories, the whole Quran again can be restored.Allah said to his Prophet (ﷺ):
وأنزلت عليك كتابا لا يغسله الماء "
I have sent down the Book upon you that can not be deleted by water" [11]
Water can wash the thing that is written by the ink on paper. It is not possible to wash it in the memory that is stored in the memory. And Allah knows best.
