"عَنْ سَعِيد بْنِ الْمُسَيّبِ قَالَ: كَانَتِ الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ صَاعَ تَمْرٍ، أَوْ نصْفَ صَاعِ حنْطَةٍ عَنْ كُلِّ رَأسٍ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عُمَرُ كَلَّمَهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا نَرَى أَنْ نُؤَدِّى عَنْ أَرِقَّائِنَا عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً كُلَّ سَنَةٍ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتُم، وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنْ أَرْزُقَهُمْ جَرِيبَيْنِ كُلَّ شَهْرٍ، فكانَ الَّذِى يُعطِيهِمْ عُمَرُ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الَّذِى يَأَخُذُ مِنْهُم".

"On the authority of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, who said: Charity in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a sa' of dates, or half a sa' of wheat, for every head. When 'Umar took office, some people among the Muhajirun spoke to him and said: We see that we should pay on behalf of our slaves ten [measures] each year, if you agree to that. He said: What a good opinion you have. And I see that I should provide them with two jaribs each month. So what 'Umar gave them was better than what he took from them."
