al-Mudd al-Nabawwiyya ﷺ

Mudd and sa` were units of measurement for volume used by our Beloved Prophet ﷺ, similar to today’s liters and gallons. One mudd is the equivalent of 775 ml. and one sa` is 4 mudds (according to the opinion of the majority of scholars).

Mudd is an Arabic word, and not the material "mud" in English.

The blessed sayings of the Prophet Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ concerning the measure al-mudd:

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَبْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ:" كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْسِلُ أَوْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ بِالصَّاعِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ".

Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ, would perform ablution with one mudd, and would perform a ritual bath with one sa`. (Bukhari and Muslim)

عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِالصَّاعِ ".

 Narrated Sayyiduna Safinah رضي الله عنه The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform wudu with a mudd and he would perform ghusl with a sa`.  (Tirmidhi)

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ:" اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي مِكْيَالِهِمْ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي صَاعِهِمْ، وَمُدِّهِمْ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ".

Narrated Anas bin Malik رضي الله عنه: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Allah bestow your blessings on their measures, bless their mudd and sa`." (meaning the people of Madina). (Bukhari)

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:" مَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّةً مِنْ سُنَّتِي فَعَمِلَ بِهَا النَّاسُ، كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا، لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا، وَمَنِ ابْتَدَعَ بِدْعَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا، كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْزَارُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا، لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا شَيْئًا".

Our Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practice it, will have the same reward of those who practice it without their reward diminishing" (Sunan ibn Majah).

Our Prophet ﷺ supplicated for the mudd stating:

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي ثِمَارِنَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا وَمُدِّنَا،

"Oh Allah bless us in our fruits, bless us in our city, bless us in our sa`, and bless us in our mudd"

(Muslim, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi, Muwatta Malik)
