Sahih al-Bukhari 6713
حَدَّثَنَا مُنْذِرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْجَارُودِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ ـ وَهْوَ سَلْمٌ ـ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُعْطِي زَكَاةَ رَمَضَانَ بِمُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُدِّ الأَوَّلِ، وَفِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ بِمُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ لَنَا مَالِكٌ مُدُّنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ مُدِّكُمْ وَلاَ نَرَى الْفَضْلَ إِلاَّ فِي مُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. وَقَالَ لِي مَالِكٌ لَوْ جَاءَكُمْ أَمِيرٌ فَضَرَبَ مُدًّا أَصْغَرَ مِنْ مُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تُعْطُونَ قُلْتُ كُنَّا نُعْطِي بِمُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَفَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّ الأَمْرَ إِنَّمَا يَعُودُ إِلَى مُدِّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Mundhir ibn al-Walid al-Jarudi narrated to us; Abu Qutaybah, who was Salam, narrated to us; Malik narrated to us, from Nafi, who said: Ibn Umar used to give the Ramadan zakat using the first mudd measure of the Prophet ﷺ, and he used the Prophet’s mudd measure for the expiation of an oath. Abu Qutaybah said: Malik told us, Our mudd is larger than your mudd, but we regard the extra amount as relevant only in the Prophet’s mudd. Malik also said to me: If a ruler came to you and set a mudd smaller than the Prophet’s mudd, what would you give by? I said: We would give by the Prophet’s mudd. He said: Do you not see that the matter ultimately comes back to the Prophet’s mudd?
