[Machine] Abu Sa'id mentioned to him the payment of Zakat al-Fitr, so he said, "I will not give except what I used to give during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, which is a sa' of dates or a sa' of barley or a sa' of wheat or a sa' of raisins." Then a man from the people or a debtor from the wheat said to him, "What about the value of Mu'awiyah? Will you not accept it or deal with it?" He replied, "That is not the value of Mu'awiyah. I neither accept it nor deal with it." These are the chains of narrations that I mentioned in relation to the mention of the measurement of barley. All of them are authentic, and the most famous of them is the hadith of Abu Mas'har from Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar, which we have high regard for. However, I left it because it is not a condition of the book. It was also narrated from Ali ibn Abi Talib.
أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ صَدَقَةُ الْفِطْرِ فَقَالَ «لَا أُخْرِجُ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُ أُخْرِجُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تِلْكَ قِيمَةُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَا أَقْبَلُهَا وَلَا أَعْمَلُ بِهَا» هَذِهِ الْأَسَانِيدُ الَّتِي قَدَّمْتُ ذِكْرَهَا فِي ذِكْرِ صَاعِ الْبُرِّ كُلُّهَا صَحِيحَةٌ وَأَشْهَرُهَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ الَّذِي عَلَوْنَا فِيهِ لَكِنِّي تَرَكْتُهُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْطِ الْكِتَابِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ
