حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ الأَصْفَرِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ {إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ} قَالَ نَسَخَتْهَا الآيَةُ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4546
This Hadith explains that the verse, “Whether you show what is in your minds or conceal it,” was abrogated by the verse after it. Marwan Al-Asghar narrates this from a Companion of Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, whom he thought was Ibn Umar. The core topic is abrogation, and the Hadith is useful for people searching for Surah Baqarah 2:284 explanation. It teaches that one verse may be understood through another verse that follows it. The wording also shows care in narration, because the narrator says he thinks the Companion was Ibn Umar. That honest wording is part of the report and should be respected. The message is to approach Quranic meanings with care, not guesswork.

- The verse 2:284 is reported here as abrogated by the next verse.
- Quranic meanings should be studied with connected verses in mind.
