وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو يُوسُفَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْتَحَ عَلَيْكُمْ بَابًا مِنَ الْعِلْمِ هَمَّنِي، تَفَحَّصْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الصَّاعِ، فَقَالُوا: صَاعُنَا هَذَا صَاعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَا حُجَّتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالُوا: نَأْتِيكَ بِالْحُجَّةِ غَدًا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَانِي نَحْوٌ مِنْ خَمْسِينَ شَيْخًا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، مَعَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمُ الصَّاعُ تَحْتَ رِدَائِهِ، كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ أَنَّ هَذَا صَاعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هِيَ سَوَاءٌ، قَالَ: فَعَايَرْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَمْسَةُ أَرْطَالٍ وَثُلُثٌ بِنُقْصَانٍ مَعَهُ يَسِيرٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَمْرًا قَوِيًّا فَقَدْ تَرَكْتُ قَوْلَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ فِي الصَّاعِ، وَأَخَذْتُ بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ " قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ: فَحَجَجْتُ مِنْ عَامِي ذَلِكَ فَلَقِيتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّاعِ، فَقَالَ: صَاعُنَا هَذَا صَاعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: كَمْ رِطْلًا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمِكْيَالَ لَا يُرْطَلُ، هُوَ هَذَا. ⦗٢٨٧⦘ قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ: فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي أَنَّ هَذَا صَاعُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Husayn bin al-Walid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Abu Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) came to us on his return from Hajj and said: I want to open for you a door of knowledge that concerned me. I investigated it: I came to Madinah and asked about the sa', and they said: This sa' of ours is the sa' of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said to them: What is your proof? They said: We will bring you its proof tomorrow. The next morning about fifty shaykhs came to me, sons of the Muhajirun and the Ansar, each of them with a sa' under his cloak, and each of them was reporting from his father or his household that this is the sa' of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I looked, I found them all equal, and it was five and a third ratls, slightly less. So I considered it strong, abandoned the view of Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him), and accepted the view of the people of Madinah.
Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I performed Hajj that same year and met Imam Malik bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him). I asked him about the sa', and he said: This sa' of ours is indeed the sa' of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked: How many ratls is it? He said: A measure of volume is not reckoned in ratls. Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Then I met Abdullah bin Zayd bin Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: My father told me from my grandfather that this is the sa' of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
