1832 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «الْوَسْقُ سِتُّونَ صَاعًا»

Commentary

According to modern measurements, one Wasq of Hijâz (Makkah, Al-Madinah and Tâ'if) is approximately equal to 180 kilos (as Ibn Bâz said in his Fatâwa) and 629.856 kilograms (according to the research of Shaikh Fâruq Asghar Sâram Pakistani); and according to modern measurements, one Iraqi Wasq is equal to 189 kilograms (said by Shaikh Fâruq Sâram; and it is much bigger according to Ibn Bâz).
