ate the paper, and thus the said verse was lost."(315)(316)
In other narrations quoted from 'A'ishah by Muslim in his Sahih 'A'ishah says: In the Qur'an which had been descended to the Prophet, there existed the following verse: "Ten times of clear and known suckings provide legitimate intimacy." Then this verse was abrogated by the phrase 'five known times', but as this verse was being recited from the Qur'an, the Prophet passed away.
an-Nawawi, great Sunni scholar and interpreter of Muslim's book of Sahih says: The narration means that the abrogation of 'ten times' for 'five times of known suckings' has taken place at the end of the Prophet's life, and some people recited the phrase 'ten times' without knowing that it was abrogated. Then an-Nawawi describes the difference of views of the Shafi'ite and Malikite Jurisprudents, and adds on behalf of the Malikites that Quranic words are proved by the statement of one person. Then in explaining the sucking of adult men and the manner of it, he quoted Judge 'Ayyad that the manner of sucking took this form that the milk offering woman milked herself in a pot, and the man drank out of it, and not by sucking her breast.
In this way 'A'ishah answered the criticism levelled at her by the other wives of the Prophet, and acted upon his own monopoly of verdicts.

One day Imam al-Hasan ibn 'Ali visited Mu'awiyah when 'Abd Allah ibn az-Zubayr and Abu Sa'id, son of 'Aqil, were present there. When Imam al-Hasan sat down, Mu'awiyah asked: "Abu
