Arabic (Original)
فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَوْلُهُ نَوَاةٌ يَعْنِي خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ قَالَ وَخَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ تُسَمَّى نَوَاةَ ذَهَبٍ كَمَا تُسَمَّى الْأَرْبَعُونَ أُوقِيَّةً وَكَمَا تُسَمَّى الْعِشْرُونَ نَشًّا 14367 قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ الْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ وَالنَّشُّ عِشْرُونَ وَالنَّوَاةُ خَمْسَةٌ
English Translation
Abu Ubayd said: His saying 'a date-stone' means five dirhams. He said: Five dirhams are called a 'nawah' (date-stone) of gold, just as forty is called an 'uqiyyah' (ounce), and twenty is called a 'nashsh.' Abu Ubayd said: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated from Sufyan from Mansur from Mujahid who said: An uqiyyah is forty, a nashsh is twenty, and a nawah is five.
