Hadith 660
۞
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ja’far ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Hamadhaniy, who accompanied us to Hajj, has said the following
“I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), through my father asking, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, our people have differences about al-Sa’. Some of them say that al-Fitra is by al-Sa‘ al-Madaniy and others say it is by al-Sa‘ al-‘Iraqiy. He (the Imam) wrote back to me: ‘Al-Sa‘ is six Artal by al-Madaniy, and nine Artal by al-‘Iraqiy.’ He (the Imam) informed me that it weighs one thousand one hundred seventy Waznah (a certain unit of measurement).”’
9ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمَذَانِيِّ وَكَانَ مَعَنَا حَاجّاً قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَلَى يَدَيْ أَبِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الصَّاعِ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ الْفِطْرَةُ بِصَاعِ الْمَدَنِيِّ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ بِصَاعِ الْعِرَاقِيِّ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ الصَّاعُ سِتَّةُ أَرْطَالٍ بِالْمَدَنِيِّ وَتِسْعَةُ أَرْطَالٍ بِالْعِرَاقِيِّ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ بِالْوَزْنِ أَلْفاً وَمِائَةً وَسَبْعِينَ وَزْنَةً.
