Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: (The standard) weight is the weight of the people of Mecca, and the (standard) measure is the measure of the people of Medina. Abu Dawud said: Al-Firyabi and Abu Ahmad have also transmitted from Sufyan in a similar way, and he (Ibn Dukain) agreed with them on the text. The version of Abu Ahmad has: "from Ibn 'Abbas" instead of Ibn 'Umar. It has also been transmitted by al-Walid b. Muslim from Hanzalah. This version has: "the weight of Medina and the measure of Mecca." Abu Dawud said: There is a variation in the text of the version of this tradition narrated by Malik b. Dinar from 'Ata' from the Prophet (ﷺ).
[1] Similar was also recorded by Al-Bayhaqi.[2] That is, in his version, he had Hanzalah reporting it from Tāwūs from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ with that wording meaning, the opposite.[3] Meaning, there is also something like that reported - from 'Aṭā', from the Prophet ﷺ - which is Mursal , and the one that reported it also report it with conflicting meaning.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 3340In-book reference : Book 23, Hadith 15English translation : Book 22, Hadith 3334
