nothing makes marriage prohibited except ten breastfeedings or five well-known

They insinuate that
this tradition (which is not even authentic) demonstrates that the reason why
the verse for stoning the Adulterer is not with us in the Qur‟an today is
because the sheep ate up the paper it was written on. This argument is absurd
for the following reasons: · There is no reason to believe that this was the
only piece of paper that had this verse written on it. · There are hadiths
which show the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) refusing to approve the writing down of
that verse, due to it being abrogated from the Qur‟anic text (to be preserved
through the Sunnah). Umar (ra) asked "'O Messenger of Allah, let the verse
about stoning be written for me.' He (the Prophet) said, 'I can't do
this.'" (Sunan Al-Kubra Baihiqi 8/211 & Sunan Al-Kubra Nasai Hadith
7148. Albani (in Sahiha 6/412) said Baihiqi pointed to its authenticity) · The
companions already had this verse memorized (ref Saheeh Muslim, Book 017,
Number 4194). Unless they want to argue that this sheep also “ate the memories”
of the companions who memorized those verses, they have no arguments left to to
advance.
If the sheep eat the
verse of the Quran, how did Umar Bin Khattab Ra manage to know the verse? Was
that the only hard copy that several scribes had written.
'Abdullah
b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger
(Peace be upon him) and said: Verily Allah sent Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was
included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory
and understood it. Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) awarded the punishment
of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him,
we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of
time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of
stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty
prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married
men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is
pregnancy, or a confession. (Sahih Muslim Book 17 Hadith 4194)
Thought you said the
verse from the Quran was missing? From the above Hadith The companions already
had this verse memorized. Unless they want to argue that this sheep also “ate
the memories” of the companions who memorized those verses, they have no arguments
left to to advance.
Maybe you can tell
us which sheep eat verse from Matthew 18:11 and Acts 8:37
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
“Once
of the things that Allah revealed in the the Qur'an and then abrogated was that
nothing makes marriage prohibited except ten breastfeedings or five well-known
(breastfeedings).”
