2521. It was narrated from Al-Ju'aid: "I heard As-Ṣâ'ib bin Yazîd say: 'During the time of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, the Ṣâ' was equal to a Mudd and third of the Mudd you use today, and the Ṣâ' of today has become large.'" (Ṣahîh) Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: And Ziyâd bin Ayyûb narrated it to me.
٢٥٢٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمِكْيَالُ مِكْيَالُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْوَزْنُ وَزْنُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ».

This means in the Divine law only the Mudd or Ṣâ' is reliable as weight, which used to be of the people of Al-Madinah during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ. Like the Ratl (381.15 grams), Dirham (silver coin), and Dinar (a gold coin), etc. were used among the people of Makkah at that period of time. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The measure (to be used) is the measure of the people of Al-Madinah, and the weight (to be used) is the weight of the people of Makkah.” (Da’if)
