[Machine] I and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to perform ablution from one container. The difference is stated, and Az-Zuhri said, "I think it is five portions." Abu 'Amr said, "One portion is four dirhams." Others also narrated from Ibrahim ibn Sa'd in the same manner, and Abu Muhammad ibn Yusuf informed us that I am Abu Abdullah ibn Yazid, and I am Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Sufyan. Muslim ibn Al-Hajjaj narrated to us, and he said Qutaibah has said, Sufyan said, meaning Ibn Uyaynah, "The difference is thirteen ash'." In another narration from Harmala, it is reported from Ash-Shafi'i that he said the same. Abu Ali Ar-Rudhbari informed us, and Abu Bakr ibn Dasa narrated to us, and Abu Dawud said, "I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal saying, 'The difference is sixteen ratl." I also heard him saying, "A sa' of Ibn Abi Dhi'b is five dirhams and a third." It was asked, "So how much is it?" He said, "Eight dirhams." It was said, "That is not correct." Ash-Shafi'i said, "And we have been informed that the Prophet, ﷺ , performed ablution with a mud and took a bath with a sa'."
