[That it is regarding the bequest]

Those who interpreted that as referring to the bequest:

4863 - Al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Rabi' narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq informed us, Ibn Jurayj informed us, Ibn Abi Mulaykah informed me that Asma' bint 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad informed him that 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr divided the inheritance of his father, 'Abd al-Rahman, while 'A'ishah was alive. They both said: He did not leave behind a needy person or a relative in the house without giving them from his father's inheritance. He said: And he recited: "And when those of kinship are present at the division." He said: The division. I mentioned that to Ibn 'Abbas, and he said: "He was not correct; that is not for him. That only pertains to the bequest, and this verse is only regarding the bequest," meaning that the deceased wishes to make a bequest to them.

[That it is abrogated]

Those who said that it is abrogated:

[The first view]

4864 - Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us, Hajjaj reported to us, from Ibn Jurayj, and 'Uthman ibn 'Ata', from 'Ata', from Ibn 'Abbas regarding his saying: "And when those of kinship are present at the division, as well as the orphans and the needy, so provide for them from it," [he said:] The verse of inheritance abrogated it, so He assigned for every person his share from what was left... from what was little of it or much. Abu Muhammad said: A similar [view] was narrated from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, 'Ikrimah, Abu al-Sha'tha', al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, al-Dahhak, Abu Salih, Abu Malik, 'Ata' al-Khurasani, Zayd ibn Aslam, Rabi'ah ibn Abi 'Abd al-Rahman, and Muqatil ibn Hayyan.
