why don't you go and ask the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) ... the ḥadīth is similar except that he said: "equivalent to five awāq." And this isnād is also authentic despite a slight weakness in ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, and perhaps he erred in saying: "equivalent to five awāq." It seems that this man from Muzaynah is Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, for his son ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Saʿīd said: from his father who said: My mother sent me to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) to ask him, so I came to him ... and he mentioned it similarly, and in it: "I said: My she-camel, the Yāqūtah, is better than an uqiyyah, so I returned and did not ask him." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/9). And it was also recorded by him (3/7), Abū Dāwūd (1628), al-Nasāʾī, Ibn Ḥibbān (846), and Ibn Abī Ḥātim in "al-Tafsīr" (1/95/2), all from the route of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī al-Rijāl who narrated to us from ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān with it. And this isnād is ḥasan. Abū Dāwūd added in a narration: "And the uqiyyah during the time of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was forty dirhams." And in its isnād there is weakness, but it is supported by the ḥadīth of ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather, raised, with the wording: "Whoever asks while he has forty dirhams is the persistent beggar." It was recorded by al-Nasāʾī. I say: And its isnād is ḥasan. And what was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (no. 1630) and from him by Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (1/161) from the route of Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn who said:
