Important Abrogation Claims:The following is a list of the important abrogation claims that we need to refute in our writeup. The order is approximately of descending importance/difficulty (please edit to add, delete, or reorder). What makes a case important is the merit as an abrogation claim, or the appearance of merit, or the fame in being often cited. After the main ordered list, we have a secondary list of cases that are borderline important, and may or may not be included in our writeup.
The Main List

- Steadfastness: 8:66/8:65
- Night prayer: 73:20/73:1-4

Original Post (edited to include the above lists in the OP):
I made progress in finding out the list of potentially abrogated verses. In an earlier post, the total number was said to be 21. The following confirms the number 21 and proposes that 5 of them are strong cases.
Mansukh means abrogated and
nasikh means abrogating.
Quote:
Shah Waliullah (d. 1759) the great Muslim scholar from India only retained the following 5 out of Suyuti's 21 cases as genuine:
- Mansukh 2:180 -- nasikh 4:11,12.
- Mansukh 2:240 -- nasikh 2:234.
- Mansukh 8:65 -- nasikh 8:66.
- Mansukh 33:50 -- nasikh 33:52.
- Mansukh 58:12 -- nasikh 58:13.
