It was narrated that 'Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed 1 , and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.” 1 : These verses were abrogated in recitation but not ruling. Other ahadith establish the number for fosterage to be 5.
