أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْقَاسِمُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَالِكٍ - عَنِ الْجُعَيْدِ، سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ كَانَ الصَّاعُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا بِمُدِّكُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَقَدْ زِيدَ فِيهِ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ .
Amr ibn Zurarah reported: al-Qasim—meaning Ibn Malik—informed us, from al-Juayd: I heard al-Saib ibn Yazid say: In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the sa measured one mudd and one third by your mudd today, and it has since been increased. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Ziyad ibn Ayyub also related this to me.
Translation notes
The report compares the earlier sa with the present-day mudd as stated by al-Saib, and says it was increased without specifying by whom or when. The attribution note is retained.
