[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed Zakat al-Fitr as purification for fasting from idle talk and obscenities, and as a provision for the poor. Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is an accepted Zakat, and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is considered as a voluntary charity. This is what our sheikh (number 7693) said, and the authentic narration is what Abu Ali Al-Rudhbari informed us, who narrated it from Muhammad ibn Bakr, who narrated it from Abu Dawud, who narrated it from Mahmoud ibn Khalid Al-Dimashqi and Abdullah Yahya ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Samarqandi. They said: "Marwan ibn Muhammad said: 'Abdullah narrated to us from Abu Yazid Al-Khawlani, who was a sincere and trustworthy sheikh. Ibn Wahb used to narrate from him.' And Abbas ibn Al-Walid Al-Khallal narrated it from Marwan, and Abu Ahmed Al-Hafiz mentioned it in Al-Kunya, but his name is not known."  

فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَةً لِلْصِيَامِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ مَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ كَذَا قَالَهُ شَيْخُنَا 7693 وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيُّ قَالَا ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ثنا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ كَانَ شَيْخَ صِدْقٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ يَرْوِي عَنْهُ وَهَكَذَا ذَكَرَهُ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْخَلَّالُ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ وَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحَافِظُ فِي الْكُنَى وَلَمْ يُعْرَفِ اسْمُهُ
