[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him a sack containing fifteen saa of grain and said, "Feed sixty poor people, giving each poor person a mudd."  

الطبراني:٦٣٣٠حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ مِكْتَلًا فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ «أَطْعِمْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ»

abudawud:2218Abū Dāwud > Muḥammad b. And Zīr al-Miṣrī > Lah Ḥaddathakum Bishr b. Bakr > al-Awzāʿī > ʿAṭāʾ > Aws Akhī ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit

Abu Dawud said “I recited to Muhammad bin Wazir Al Misri and said to him Bishr bin Bakr narrated it to you and Al Auza’i narrated it to us. And he said “At’a narrated it to us on the authority of Aus brother of ‘Ubadah bin Al Samit. The Prophet ﷺ gave him fifteen sa’s of wheat to feed sixty poor people. Abu Dawud said At’a did not meet Aws (bin Al Samit) who was one of the people of Badr and died in the early days of Islam. This version is therefore, mursal (i.e., a successor narrated it directly from the Prophet ﷺ, the link of the Companions is missing). This has been narrated by Al Auza’i from At’a from Aus.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ إِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَعَطَاءٌ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ أَوْسًا وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ قَدِيمُ الْمَوْتِ وَالْحَدِيثُ مُرْسَلٌ وَإِنَّمَا رَوَوْهُ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ أَنَّ أَوْسًا
