`Umar said, Ubai was the best of us in the recitation (of the Quran) yet we leave some of what he
recites.' Ubai says, 'PI have taken it from the mouth of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and will not leave for anything
whatever." But Allah said "None of Our Revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten but We
substitute something better or similar." 2.106
