بَابُ: {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا} إِلَى: {بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ} :Chapter. “And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as regards their marriage) for four months and ten days. Then when they have fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and honourable manner (i.e., they can marry). And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.” (V.2:234)
Hadith 4530
اُردوEn
يَعْفُونَ : يَهَبْنَ .
«يعفون» means «يهبن», that is, to give as a gift, to grant.
حَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ , حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ , عَنْ حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ , قَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ : وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا سورة البقرة آية 234 ، قَالَ : " قَدْ نَسَخَتْهَا الْآيَةُ الْأُخْرَى ، فَلِمَ تَكْتُبُهَا أَوْ تَدَعُهَا , قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، لَا أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ ".
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair: I said to `Uthman bin `Affan (while he was collecting the Qur'an) regarding the Verse:-- "Those of you who die and leave wives ..." (2.240) "This Verse was abrogated by an other Verse. So why should you write it? (Or leave it in the Qur'an)?" `Uthman said. "O son of my brother! I will not shift anything of it from its place."

Hadith Commentary:
The details of abrogation are as follows: Some verses have been abrogated both in terms of ruling and recitation. These were not included in the Noble Qur’an. There are some verses whose ruling remains but their recitation has been abrogated, and some are such that their ruling has been abrogated but their recitation remains. The intent of Hazrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was regarding those very verses which have been retained for recitation, while in terms of ruling they have been abrogated.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The Arabs did not tolerate that the widow of their deceased person should marry someone else or that she should leave his house. Therefore, at the beginning of Islam, they were commanded to remain in the house for a whole year and to be provided for through a bequest. After this, the waiting period (iddah) for a woman was fixed at four months and ten days.
➋
The meaning of the aforementioned hadith is that Abdullah ibn Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu) said to Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) at the time of compiling the Qur'an: "Why do you write an abrogated verse in the Qur'an?" Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) replied: "I do not wish to remove any verse of the Qur'an from its place, even if it is abrogated."
➌
With regard to abrogation, there are three types of verses:
© Those whose ruling and recitation are both abrogated—such verses were not included in the Qur'an.
© Those whose ruling remains but their recitation is abrogated—these too were not written in the Qur'an.
© Those whose ruling is abrogated but their recitation remains.
Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) said to Abdullah ibn Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu) regarding this type of verse:
"I cannot, of my own accord, move any verse forward or backward."
The benefit of writing such verses is that their recitation brings reward. Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has mentioned another benefit of writing this verse: that according to some scholars, this verse is not abrogated at all, so considering their position, this verse cannot in any case be erased.
(Fath al-Bari: 8/244)
And Allah knows best.
