of raisins, and we continued to give it until Mu‘āwiyah arrived as a pilgrim or one performing ‘umrah. He addressed the people from the pulpit, and among what he said to the people was: "I am of the opinion that two mudds of Syrian wheat equal one ṣā‘ of dates." So the people adopted that. Abū Sa‘īd said: "As for me, I will continue to give it as long as I live."

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic.
It was also recorded by Muslim (985), Ibn Mājah (1829), and al-Nasā’ī in *al-Kubrā* (2304) and (2308) via multiple paths from Dāwūd ibn Qays, with this chain.
It was also recorded by al-Bukhārī (1506), (1508), and (1510), Muslim (985), al-Tirmidhī (679), and al-Nasā’ī (2302) and (2303) via multiple paths from ‘Iyāḍ ibn ‘Abd Allāh, with it. Some of them do not mention the story of Mu‘āwiyah in it.
It was also recorded by al-Bukhārī (1505) via the path of Zayd ibn Aslam from ‘Iyāḍ ibn ‘Abd Allāh, with it, in abbreviated form with the wording: "We used to give the charity a ṣā‘ of barley."
It is in *Musnad Aḥmad* (11182) and *Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān* (3305).
See what follows it.
It was also recorded by al-Nasā’ī in *al-Kubrā* (2309) and Ibn Ḥibbān (3306) via two paths from ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Ḥakīm, with this chain. This chain is good. ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Ḥakīm was narrated from by a group, and his ḥadīth was recorded by Abū Dāwūd and al-Nasā’ī, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. It is in *Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaymah* (2419), and he said after it: The mention of wheat in the report of Abū Sa‘īd is not preserved, and I do not know from whom the error came. His statement: "And a man from the people said to him: 'Or two mudds of wheat...'" to the end of the report indicates that the mention of wheat at the beginning of the story is an error or a mistake, for had Abū Sa‘īd informed them that they used to give a ṣā‘ of wheat during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, the man's statement "or two mudds of wheat" would have had no meaning. See *Naṣb al-Rāyah* 2/418.
The author of *al-Fatḥ* 3/374 quoted Ibn al-Mundhir as saying: We know of no authentic report regarding wheat from the Prophet ﷺ that can be relied upon. Wheat was not present in Madīnah at that time except in small quantities. When it became abundant during the time of the Companions, they saw that half a ṣā‘ of it stood in place of a ṣā‘ of barley, and they =
