“纳斯赫”（An-Naskh）在语言上的含义是：提升/抬起（Ar-Raf'u）和消除（Al-Izaalah）。例如说：“太阳纳斯赫了阴影”（The Sun Nasakhat the shade），以及“风纳斯赫了痕迹”（The wind Nasakhat the trace）。它在语言上也可用来表示类似转录（Naql）的意思，如其说法：“Nasakhtu Al-Kitaab”（即我抄写了它，并将一份上的内容转录到另一份上）。按照伊斯兰教法术语的约定（Al Istilaah），“纳斯赫”指的是：以一条后出的经文（或圣训）来废除先前经文所确立的教法裁定（Hukm）。

An-Naskh linguistically means: Raising/lifting (Ar-Raf’u) and removing (Al-Izaalah). This is like the statement: ‘The Sun Nasakhat the shade’ and: ‘The wind Nasakhat the trace’. It can also be used linguistically to intend something similar to transference (Naql) like in their statement: ‘Nasakhtu Al-Kitaab’ (i.e. I copied it and transferred what was on one to the other). An-Naskh in accordance to the Shar’a terminological convention (Al Istilaah) means: The lifting of the Hukm established by a previous address by an address that is later than it.

“解除”(Raf'u)所指的“哈昆”(Hukm,裁定)的含义:即撤销该哈昆,使负有法律责任、须承担义务的穆卡拉菲恩(Mukallafeen)不再被要求或被强制去履行或完成它。

The meaning of lifting (Raf’u) of the Hukm: The removal of the Hukm so that the Mukallafeen (those who are legally responsible and accountable) are no longer requested or required to undertake or fulfil it.
