Hadith 3502
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ: "الْقِنْطَارُ: سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مِثْقَالٍ".
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: (A qintar) is equal to seventy thousand mithqal.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 3495 to 3502)
There are various opinions among the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) and the Tabi‘in (rahimahumullah) regarding the amount of a qintar, and in context and in language, it refers to a great quantity, a large heap of wealth and treasure, and its amount has been described differently in different eras.
Therefore, it is not possible to precisely define the qintar.
