حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْجُعَيْدِ، سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، يَقُولُ كَانَ الصَّاعُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا بِمُدِّكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، وَقَدْ زِيدَ فِيهِ‏.‏ سَمِعَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْجُعَيْدَ

Narrated As-Sa'ib bin Yazid:The Sa' (a kind of measure) during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to be equal to the one Mudd (another kind of measure) and one third of a Mudd which we use today, but the Sa' of today has become large

As-Sa'ib bin Yazid bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ke daur mein Sa' (naapne ki ikaai) aaj ke ek Mudd aur ek-tihaai Mudd ke barabar thi jo hum aajkal istemaal karte hain, magar aaj ka Sa' bada ho gaya hai.
