Sunan Abi Dawud 3722 — Drinks (Kitab Al-Ashribah)

[1] Abū Sa‘eed Ibn Al-‘Arābī is one of those who heard the text from Abū Dāwud. In our edition it is Mudd instead of Mudi but what is correct is Mudi . It is a tank used for water made of stone, it holds fifteen or more Makūk and one Makūk equals one and a half Ša‘ . See Lisān Al-‘Arab , An-Nihāyah and Gharīb Al-Ḥadīth by Al-Khaṭṭābī. And its meaning is that the Sulṭān had officiated a size for the Mudi and sent it around to be used for all measurements of that size, and he broke it with a rock. See Walāt Miṣr (1:23) by Al-Kindī. It appears that some of the copyists made an error in its spelling.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 3722In-book reference : Book 27, Hadith 54English translation : Book 26, Hadith 3713
