The wasq contained sixty sa’s stamped with the stamp of Al Hajjaj.

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1560
This report is not a direct Prophetic statement in the translation. It records that Ibrahim said the wasq contained sixty sa's stamped with the stamp of Al-Hajjaj. The core topic is measurement, especially the meaning of wasq in the zakat discussion. It is connected to the previous Hadith about no zakat being payable below five wasq. The text helps readers understand the measure mentioned in that zakat threshold. Since the report only gives the measure and mentions the stamp of Al-Hajjaj, the explanation should not go beyond that. It is best used for searches about wasq, sa', and zakat measurement terms.
What we learn from this hadith
- This report explains a measurement term used in zakat discussions.
- Ibrahim stated that one wasq contained sixty sa's.
- The report mentions the stamp of Al-Hajjaj in relation to the measure.
- It supports understanding of the five wasq threshold mentioned nearby.
