Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَتَى بِثُلُثَيْ مُدٍّ, فَجَعَلَ يَدْلُكُ ذِرَاعَيْهِ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَة َ 1‏ .‏‏1 ‏- صحيح.‏ رواه أحمد (4/39)‏، وابن خزيمة (118)‏ واللفظ لابن خزيمة.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought two-thirds of a mudd, and began rubbing his forearms. Ahmad reported it, and Ibn Khuzaymah graded it authentic. 1 — Ahmad (4/39) and Ibn Khuzaymah (118) reported it; this is Ibn Khuzaymah’s wording.

Translation notes
  • Mudd is a named measure; this source does not provide a conversion.

  • بِثُلُثَيْ مُدٍّ

    The source specifies two-thirds of a mudd but gives no conversion for this named measure.

    Should an approved gloss or conversion for mudd be added in a separate glossary?
