Narrated Umayyah b. 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 b. Muhammad b. 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

حدثنا محمد بن محمد بن خلاد ابو عمر، حدثنا مسدد، عن امية بن خالد، قال : لما ولي خالد القسري اضعف الصاع فصار الصاع ستة عشر رطلا . قال ابو داود : محمد بن محمد بن خلاد قتله الزنج صبرا، فقال بيده هكذا ومد ابو داود يده وجعل بطون كفيه الى الارض، قال : ورايته في النوم فقلت : ما فعل الله بك قال : ادخلني الجنة . فقلت : فلم يضرك الوقف
