1616. It was reported from Dāwūd, meaning Ibn Qais, from 'Iyāḏ bin 'Abdullāh, from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī who said: "During the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, we used to give Zakāt Al-Fiṭr on behalf of every young or old person, free-man or slave. (We used to give) one Ṣā' of food, or cheese, or barley, or dried dates, or raisins. We continued doing so, until Mu'āwiyah came to us while he was performing Hajj or Umrah. He spoke to the people (standing) on the Minbar, and among what he said was: 'I see that two Mudd of the Samrā[1] of Ash-Shām is equivalent to one Ṣā' of dried dates.' So the people took this
ruling.” Abū Sa‘eed said: “As for me, I will continue to pay it (as I used to pay it), as long as I live.” (Saḥīh)
Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Ibn ‘Ulayyah, ‘Abdah, and others, from Ibn Ishāq, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Uthmān bin Ḥakīm bin Hīzām, from ‘Iyāḍ from Abū Sa‘eed with its meaning. And one of them who reported it from Ibn ‘Ulayyah mentioned: “or (one) Ṣā’ of (wheat) Ḥīntah.” But it is not (a) preserved (narration).

1616 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا نُخْرِجُ إِذْ كَانَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ عَنْ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ، حُرٍّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٍ، صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ زَبِيبٍ، فَلَمْ نَزَلْ نُخْرِجُهُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ حَاجًّا، أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا، فَكَلَّمَ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَكَانَ فِيمَا كَلَّمَ بِهِ النَّاسَ أَنْ قَالَ: إِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ سَمْرَاءِ الشَّامِ تَعْدِلُ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ بِذَلِكَ «، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، فَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أَزَالُ أُخْرِجُهُ أَبَدًا مَا عِشْتُ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ: ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، وَعَبْدَةُ، وَغَيْرِهِمَا عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ، وَذَكَرَ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ وَلَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ،
