Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the day of Eid al-Fitr, we used to give Sadaqat al-Fitr, which was one sa’ of grain, or one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of barley, or one sa’ of raisins, or one sa’ of dried curd. We continued to give it in this manner until Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us from Syria for Hajj or Umrah. At that time, he was the Caliph. He delivered a sermon to the people on the pulpit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and while mentioning Sadaqat al-Fitr, he said: "I think that two mudd of wheat from Syria are equal to one sa’ of dates." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) states: At that time, people first began to mention two mudd.
