حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ أَبُو عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ لَمَّا وُلِّيَ خَالِدٌ الْقَسْرِيُّ أَضْعَفَ الصَّاعَ فَصَارَ الصَّاعُ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رِطْلًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ قَتَلَهُ الزِّنْجُ صَبْرًا فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَمَدَّ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَدَهُ وَجَعَلَ بُطُونَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقُلْتُ مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِكَ قَالَ أَدْخَلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقُلْتُ فَلَمْ يَضُرَّكَ الْوَقْفُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3281
Narrated Umayyah bin Khalid: When Khalid al-Qasri was made ruler (of Hijaz and Kufah), he doubled the measure of sa'. The sa' then measured sixteen rotls. Abu Dawud said: Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Khattab was slain by Negroes in confinement. He said while signing with his hand: "in this way". Abu Dawud extended his hand and turned his palms towards earth and said: I saw him in the dream and asked him: How did Allah deal with you ? He replied: He admitted to Paradise. I said: Your detention did not harm you.
