Abd Said al-Khudri reported: We, on behalf of every young or old, free man or slave (amongst us), used to take out during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as the Zakat of Fitr one sa of grain, or one sa of cheese or one sa of raisins. And we continued taking out these till Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan (RA) came to us for pilgrimage or Umrah, and addressed the people on the pulpit and said to them: I see that two mudds of zakat out of the wheat (red) of Syria is equal to one sa of dates. So the people accepted it. But Abu Said said: I would continue to take out as I used to take out (before, i e. one sa) as long as I live.
