“Ubayy is the best reciter among us, and Ali is the most judicious among us. Yet we leave aside some of what Ubayy says, because Ubayy says, ‘I will not abandon anything I heard from the Messenger of Allah,’ while Allah Most High has said, ‘Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten...’”
Translation notes
