On the authority of Ibn ʿUmar, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made obligatory the charity of Fitr upon the young and the old, the male and the female, the free and the slave: a ṣāʿ of dates, or a ṣāʿ of barley. (1)

35 - Chapter: The obligation of the charity of Fitr before the revelation of the Zakat

2506 - Ismāʿīl ibn Masʿūd informed us, saying: Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us, saying: Shuʿbah informed us, from al-Ḥakam ibn ʿUtaybah, from al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaymirah, from ʿAmr ibn Shuraḥbīl, from Qays ibn Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah, who said: We used to fast ʿĀshūrāʾ and pay the Zakat of Fitr. Then when Ramadan was revealed and the Zakat was revealed, we were neither commanded to do it nor forbidden from it, and we continued to do it. (2)

2507 - Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us, saying: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Sufyān, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaymirah, from Abū ʿAmmār al-Hamdānī, from Qays ibn Saʿd, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to give the charity of Fitr before the Zakat was revealed. Then when the Zakat was revealed, he neither commanded us nor forbade us, and we continued to do it.

(1) Its chain of transmission is sound. ʿĪsā: he is Ibn Yūnus ibn Abī Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, and ʿUbaydullāh: he is Ibn al-ʿUmarī. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (2296). It was also narrated by Aḥmad (5174) and (5781), al-Bukhārī (1512), Muslim (984): (13), and Abū Dāwūd (1613) through various chains from ʿUbaydullāh ibn ʿUmar, with this chain of transmission, without his saying: "the male and the female," except in a narration of Abū Dāwūd. Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jumaḥī also narrated it — as in the "Musnad" of Aḥmad (5339) — from ʿUbaydullāh ibn ʿUmar, from Nāfiʿ, and added to it: "from the Muslims." Abū Dāwūd said following (1613): The well-known narration from ʿUbaydullāh does not contain "from the Muslims." This addition has already been mentioned in the two narrations of ʿUmar ibn Nāfiʿ and Mālik in the two preceding ḥadīths.

(2) Its narrators are trustworthy. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under numbers (2297) and (2855). It will follow afterward via the chain of Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaymirah, from Abū ʿAmmār al-Hamdānī, from Qays ibn Saʿd, and it is the more likely version according to al-Bukhārī, as will come in his statement.
