What is the reason Aisha was unaware of the abrogation in the verse: {Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer}, where she added to it "Asr prayer," which Al-Bara' bin Azib mentioned was abrogated?
The writing of this word by Aisha -may Allah be pleased with her- in her could bear the interpretation that she was unaware of the abrogation, or that she recorded it for the purpose of exegesis () and not as part of the Quran, or that she believed it permissible to include non-Quranic text alongside it. Some scholars have favored the latter, stating that she included it as an explanation of what was meant by "the middle prayer." It is mentioned that Uthman -may Allah be pleased with him- ordered the Qurans to be stripped of any additions from interpretation (ta'wil) and variant readings (huruf al-qira'at) to ensure adherence solely to what was transmitted consecutively (mutawatir).
