ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَرَادَ بِهِ صَاعَ حِنْطَةٍ

[Machine] Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and those with him mentioned the Ramadan charity in his presence. He said, "I will not give out more than what I used to give during the time of the Messenger of Allahﷺ which was a saa' of dates, wheat, barley, or raisins." Then a man from the community or a debtor came to him with wheat. He said, "That is not the value of Mu'awiyah. I do not accept it and I do not deal with it."  

ابن حبّان:٣٣٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ فِيمَا انْتَخَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْكَبِيرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ قَالَ قَالَ

أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ وَذَكَرُوا عِنْدَهُ صَدَقَةَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «لَا أُخْرِجُ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُ أُخْرِجُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعَ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ صَاعَ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ أَقِطٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تِلْكَ قِيمَةُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَا أَقْبَلُهَا وَلَا أَعْمَلُ بِهَا»

[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.

[Machine] "I only distribute what I used to distribute during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , which is a Sa of dates, a Sa of wheat, a Sa of barley, or a Sa of dried yogurt. Then, a man from the people or a debter from the city brought him some wheat. He said, 'This is not the value of Muawiyah. I do not accept it nor do I deal with it, and likewise.'"
