And that which came from the Messenger of Allah saww had two perspectives – General speech and special speech like the Quran’ – until he asws said: ‘That which came down to the Messenger of Allah saww of the Verses of the Quran, he saww read it to me asws and made me asws write it down which I asws wrote it by my asws own handwriting, and taught me asws its explanation and its interpretation, and its Abrogating and its Abrogated, and its Decisive and its Allegorical, and its Special and its general, and supplicated to Allah azwj for me asws to be Given understading and its preservation.

I asws did not forget any Verse from the Book of Allah azwj , nor that which I asws was taught and made to write it down’. [7] وعن عدة من أصحابنا ، عن أحمد بن محمد ، عن عثمان ابن عيسى ، عن أبي أيوب الخرّاز ، عن محمد بن مسلم ، عن أبي عبدالله ( عليه السلام ) ، قال : قلت له : ما بال أقوام يروون عن فلان وفلان ، عن رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لا يتهمون بالكذب ، فيجيء منكم خلافه ؟ فقال : إن الحديث ينسخ كما ينسخ ، القرآن .

And from a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Ibn Isa, from Abu Ayyub Al Kharraz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who says: Abu Abdullah asws said when it was said to him asws , ‘What is the reason that the people narrate from such and such, from the Messenger of Allah saww , and they cannot be accused of lying, and what comes from you asws is different to that?’ He asws said: ‘Surely the Ahadith also get abrogated like the Quran gets Abrogated’.

[8] وعن عليّ بن إبراهيم ، عن أبيه ، عن ابن أبي نجران ، عن عاصم بن حميد ، عن منصور بن حازم ، عن أبي عبدالله ( عليه السلام ) ـ في حديث ـ قال : قلت : أخبرني عن أصحاب محمد صدقوا على محمد ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ، أم كذبوا ؟ قال : بل صدقوا ، قلت : فما بالهم اختلفوا ؟ قال : إن الرجل كان يأتي رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ، فيسأله المسألة ، فيجيبه فيها بالجواب ، ثم يجيئه بعد ذلك ما ينسخ ذلك الجواب ، فنسخت الاحاديث بعضها بعضا .

And from Ali Bin IBrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najraan, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Mansour Bin Haazim who says: Abu Abdullah asws – in a Hadith – said, ‘I said to him asws , ‘Inform me about the companions of Muhammad saww , whether they ascribed truth to him asws or lies?’ He asws said: ‘But they spoke the truth’. I said, ‘Why is then that there are differences?’ He asws said: ‘A man came to the Messenger of Allah saww . He asked him saww a question.

He saww gave him the answer, then Came down something which Abrogated that particular answer.
