[2284] 18 - (...) It was narrated that Abû Sa’eed Al-Khudrî said: “When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was among us, we used to pay Zakât Al-Fiṭr on behalf of everyone, young and old, free and slave, a Ṣâ’ of wheat, or a Ṣâ’ of cottage cheese, or a Ṣâ’ of barley, or a Ṣâ' of dates, or a Ṣâ' of raisins. We continued to pay that until Mu'âwiyah bin Abî Sufyân came to us for Hajj or Umrah, and addressed the people from the Minbar. Among the things that he said to the people was: 'I think that two Mudd of wheat of Ash-Shâm are equivalent to a Ṣâ' of dates.' And the people adopted that." Abû Sa'eed said: "As for me, I will continue to pay it as I used to pay it for as long as I live."

18 - (985) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: «كُنَّا نُخْرِجُ إِذْ كَانَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ 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 عَلَيْنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ 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 قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: «فَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أَزَالُ أُخْرِجُهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ أُخْرِجُهُ، أَبَدًا مَا عِشْتُ»
