[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of every young and old person, free or slave, a sa' (measurement) of dates or barley. He used to receive from them raisins and dried dates, and they would accept them from him. We were commanded to give it before going to the prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to distribute it among themselves and said, "Let it suffice them from the need of this day." Abu Ma'shar, the Sindhi Al-Madinah, is more trustworthy than [others], and the hadith of Ibn Abbas has been mentioned before.  

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُخْرِجَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ عَنْ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ وَحُرٍّ وَمَمْلُوكٍ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِمْ بِالزَّبِيبِ وَالْأَقِطِ فَيَقْبَلُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَكُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ أَنْ نُخْرِجَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقَسِّمُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَيَقُولُ اغْنُوهُمْ عَنْ طَوَافِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ هَذَا نَجِيحٌ السِّنْدِيُّ الْمَدِينِيُّ غَيْرُهُ أَوْثَقُ مِنْهُ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ وَقَدْ مَضَى ذِكْرُهُ
