كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْفِطْرَةِ وَ كَمْ تُدْفَعُ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ سِتَّةُ أَرْطَالٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بِالْمَدَنِيِّ وَ ذَلِكَ تِسْعَةُ أَرْطَالٍ بِالْبَغْدَادِيِّ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Bilal who said, ‘I wrote to the Iman<sup>asws</sup> asking him<sup>asws</sup> about the Fitra and how much should be handed over. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Six Ratls (unit of measurement) of dates by the Medinite (counting), and that is nine Ratls by the Baghdady (counting)’.
