Narrated to us: Abu Kuraib Muhammad bin al-Aala narrated to us: Abu Usama from al-Amash from Amr ibn Murrah from Saeed ibn Jubair, from ibn Abbas that when this verse was revealed: "And warn your nearest relatives" (Surah Al-Shuara: 214) (and your group of selected people among them) the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) set off till he climbed Safa' and called loudly: Be on your guard! They said: Who is it calling aloud? They said: Muhammad (s). They gathered around him, and he said: O sons of so and so, O sons of so and so, O sons of so and so, O sons of 'Abd Manaf, O sons of 'Abd al-Muttalib, and they gathered around him. He (s) (the Apostle) said: If I were to inform you that there were horsemen emerging out of the foot of this mountain, would you believe me? They said: We have not experienced any lie from you. He (s) said: Well, I am a warner to you before a severe punishment. He (the narrator) said that Abu Lahab then said: Destruction to you! Is it for this you have gathered us? He (s) (the Holy Prophet) then stood up, and this verse was revealed:" Perish the hands of Abu Lahab (Surah al-Masad: 1)" and he indeed perished. A'mash recited this to the end of the Sura. And narrated to us Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaibah and Abu Kuraib, said, narrated to us Abu Muaviyah from al-Amash on the authority of the same chain of narrators and he said: One day the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) climbed the hill of Safa' and said: Be on your guard, and the rest of the hadith was narrated like the hadith transmitted by Usama; he made no mention of the revelation of the verse:" Warn your nearest relatives." (Surah al-Shuara: 214)

'A'isha reported that it had been revealed in the Holy Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings and Allah's Apostle (s.a.w.a.) died and it was before that time (found) in the Holy Qur'an (and recited by the Muslims).

'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) and said:

Verily Allah sent Muhammad (s) 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 (s.a.w.a.) 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. And Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaybah, Zuhair Ibn Harb and Ibn Abi Umar have narrated from Sufiyan on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.
