Is the verse, "O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," abrogated or no longer applicable after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him), or is it merely for admonition? And what is the true reason for its revelation: Was it concerning the two Shaykhs, Abu Bakr and Umar, or concerning Thabit ibn Qays?

The verse in Surat Al-Hujurat that forbids raising one's voice above the voice of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not abrogated, and its ruling remains in effect. Scholars have explicitly stated the obligation to lower one's voice at the grave of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and when he is mentioned or spoken about, and that his sanctity and veneration after his death are the same as during his life. The reason for the revelation of the verse was a general etiquette for believers, and it included the story of Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), and the story of Thabit ibn Qays (may Allah be pleased with him).
