20 - And from Al-Mumtahanah:

The verse of exchange between the dowries of spouses:

His saying - the Exalted -:

{So give those whose wives have departed the like of what they spent}

it was said: abrogated by the verse of the sword, and it was said: by the verse of the spoils.

And it was said: decisive.

I say: The most apparent is that it is decisive,

but the ruling applies during truce and at the time of the disbelievers' strength.

12 - And from Al-Muzzammil:

The verse of the command for standing in prayer at night:

His saying - the Exalted -:

{Stand [to pray] all night, except for a little}

abrogated by the end of the surah, then the latter was abrogated by the five prayers.

I say: The claim of abrogation by the five prayers is unfounded; rather, the truth is that the beginning of the surah emphasizes the recommendation of night prayer, and its end abrogated the emphasis to mere recommendation.

Al-Suyuti said, agreeing with Ibn Al-Arabi:

So these are twenty-one abrogated verses, with disagreement regarding some of them, and the claim of abrogation in others is not correct.

And the most correct regarding the verse of seeking permission and division is decisiveness and lack of abrogation, so they became twenty-nine.

I say: What I have verified does not necessitate abrogation except in five verses.
