 It was reported by Khâlid ibn-ʿAbdallâh aṭ-Ṭaḥḥân that ibn-abi-Laila said, "Whether it is produced in the tithe-or kharâj-land, one raṭl is due on every ten. The same view is held by al-Ḥasan ibn-Ṣâliḥ ibn-Ḥai.

Nor is there sadakah on what is less than five wasks of wheat, barley, maize, husked barley, tare, dates, raisins, rice, sesame, peas and the grains that can be measured and stored, including lentils, beans, Indian peas and millet. If any of these measure five wasks, then it is subject to sadakah. The same view, according to al-Wakidi, is held by Rabi'ah ibn-
