The term nakikh wa mansukh, usually translated as 'abrogation',
relates to theories arising from the early exegesis of the Qur'an,
in an attempt to resolve apparent contradictions in the Qur'anic
text between different statements, especially those bearing on
regulations. In such cases, verses later in date are held to modify
or even suspend earlier verses. The same principle was applied to
contradictions between Traditions forming the basis of the Sunnah.
In the lifetime of the author of this volume the question of which
should 'abrogate' the other, in the event of conflict between
Qur'an and tradition, had already arisen. Abu 'Ubaid's book
represents the oldest yet recovered systematic application of
'abrogation' theories to both Qur'an and Sunnah when there is
perceived to be a conflict between them. Best known for his work on
taxation, the Kitab al-Amwal, Abu 'Ubaid (ca. 154/770224/838) was
born at Herat but resided at various centres in the Abbasid Empire;
he was a scholar of note in the area of theological, legal and
philosophical studies. His book, which antedates the
crystallization of the Schools of Fiqh and presents a view of the
relation between the Qur'an and Sunnah diverging from that of
Shafi'i, is of relevance to studies of the Qur'an and the
formulation of Islamic jurisprudence. This edition presents the
Arabic text with introductory essay and notes in English.
