Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'O Allah, bless their produce, bless their city, bless their measures (Sa' and Mudd). O Allah, bless them and bless their measure, and bless their Sa' (a dry measure). O Allah, Abraham was a servant who supplicated much for Mecca. I am His servant, and I have supplicated for Medina just as Abraham supplicated for Mecca.' Then he recited: 'O Allah, bless our produce, bless our city, bless our measures (Sa' and Mudd). O Allah, bless them and bless their measure, and bless their Sa'.' (Sahih Muslim 1601)
