[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated the charity of Fitrah or he said Ramadan upon the male and female, free or slave, one Sa' of dates or one Sa' of barley. The people adhered to it by giving half a Sa' of wheat instead. Ibn 'Umar used to give dates, but the people of Madinah preferred barley, so he gave barley. Ibn 'Umar used to give on behalf of the young and old, to the point that he would give on behalf of the family of Banu Nafi'. It was narrated that Abu 'Amr Al-'Adibi informed us, who was informed by Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili, who was informed by Abu Ya'la, who was informed by Abu Rabi', who mentioned it with a chain similar to this, except that he said that there was no doubt regarding the charity of Fitrah and he said "from dates" generically. And he added that Abdullah would give it when the ones who would receive it would sit, and they used to sit before the day of Fitrah for a day or two.
