Assalamu Alaykum dear brothers and sisters.
I had a question regarding abrogation which kinda' got me thinking.
Shaykh Muhammad ‘Abd al-‘Azeem az-Zarqaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:"...
1. Abrogation of both the ruling and the verses.
...
2. Abrogation of the ruling but not the verses.
...
3. Abrogation of the verses but not the ruling
..."
So we can see that each occasion of abrogation is regarding a law, or ruling, but is there a possibility of a mere verse, that does not contain a law, ruling or commandment to be abrogated? Or does abrogation occur only about laws, rulings etc.?
Please, if possible, back your opinions with hadith and opinions of scholars.
Have a great day and as always, Assalamu Alaykum!
