[9] The reason for Abrogating a Verse: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَحْيَى الْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فَمِنْ رِفْقِهِ بِعِبَادِهِ تَسْلِيلُهُ أَضْغَانَهُمْ وَ مُضَادَّتَهُمْ لِهَوَاهُمْ وَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ مِنْ رِفْقِهِ بِهِمْ أَنَّهُ يَدَعُهُمْ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ يُرِيدُ إِزَالَتَهُمْ عَنْهُ رِفْقاً بِهِمْ لِكَيْلَا يُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ وَ مُثَاقَلَتَهُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً فَيَضْعُفُوا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ ذَلِكَ نَسَخَ الْأَمْرَ بِالْآخَرِ فَصَارَ مَنْسُوخاً Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yahya Al Arzaq, from Hammad Bin Bashir, from; Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘ Allah -azwj Blessed and High is Kind, He -azwj Loves the kindness .
So, from His -azwj Kindness with His -azwj servants is to Ease their grudges and their antagonisms for their wish and their hearts. And from His -azwj Kindness with them is that He -azwj Calls them upon the matter, Intending their Removal from the evil (practice) as being Kind to them, so that the ring and the weight of Eman do not fall upon them at once to make them weak.
When, Allah -azwj Wants to make such a decision (of easing up on them), He -azwj Cancels one Command by another Command and it becomes abrogated’ .
