Narrated Rafi:
Ibn 'Umar used to give the Zakat of Ramadan (Zakat al Fitr) according to the Mudd of The Prophet (may peace be upon him), the first Mudd and he also used to give expiations for oaths according to the Mudd of The Prophet (may peace be upon him). Abu Qutaiba said, "Malik said to us, 'Our Mudd (i.e. of Madina) is better than yours and we do not see any superiority except in the Mudd of The Prophet (may peace be upon him)!' Malik further said to me, 'If a ruler came to you and fixed a Mudd smaller than the one of The Prophet (may peace be upon him), by what Mudd would you measure what you give (for expiation or for Zakat ul Fitr)?' I replied, 'We would give it according to the Mudd of The Prophet (may peace be upon him)'. On that Malik said, 'Then dont you see that we have to revert to the Mudd of The Prophet (may peace be upon him) ultimately?'"
