[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the payment of Zakat al-Fitr to be given before the people leave and Abdullah used to pay it one or two days before that.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِإِخْرَاجِ زَكَاةِ الْفِطْرِ أَنْ تُؤَدَّى قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ النَّاسِ وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُؤَدِّيهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ»  

the Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakatul-Fitr, one Sa of dates or one Sa of barley.Abdullah said: The people made two Mudd (equal to half of a Sa) of wheat as its equivalent. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1825)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ عِدْلَهُ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ  

the Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakatul-Fitr at the end of Ramadan upon the people; a Sa' of dates or a Sa' of barley, upon everyone, free or slave, male or female, of the Muslims. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2503)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَضَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى النَّاسِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ وَعَبْدٍ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed Zakat-ul-Fitr of Ramadan one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley for every individual among the Muslims (whether) free man or slave, male or female, young or old. (Using translation from Muslim 984e)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَضَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ رَجُلٍ أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ»  

"The Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakatul-Fitr, a Sa' of dates or a Sa of barley, upon the free person and the slave, male and female, young and old, among the Muslims. He commanded that it be given before the people went out to the ('fd) prayer." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2504)  

«فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَلَى الْحَرِّ وَالْعَبْدِ وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُؤَدَّى قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ النَّاسِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the giving of Zakat al-Fitr, which is a Sa' of dates or a Sa' of barley, on every Muslim, young or old, free or slave." Ibn 'Umar said, "Then people started giving its equivalent value in wheat."  

«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِزَكَاةِ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ «ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ جَعَلُوا عِدْلَ ذَلِكَ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ»  

"We used to pay Salaqatul Fitr when the Messenger of Allah was among us; a Sa' of food, or a Sa' of dates, or a Sa' of barley, or a Sa' of cottage cheese. We continued to do so until Mu'awiyah came from Ash-Sham and one of the things that he taught the people was when he said: I think that two Mudds of wheat from Ash-Sham are equivalent to a Sa' of this, So the people took to that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2513)   

كُنَّا نُخْرِجُ فِي صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ إِذْ كَانَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَلَمْ نَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ مِنَ الشَّامِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَدْمَةً فَكَانَ فِيمَا كَلَّمَ بِهِ النَّاسَ «مَا أَرَى مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ سَمْرَاءِ الشَّامِ إِلَّا تَعْدِلُ صَاعًا مِنْ هَذِهِ» فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ بِذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and those with him mentioned the Ramadan charity in his presence. He said, "I will not give out more than what I used to give during the time of the Messenger of Allahﷺ which was a saa' of dates, wheat, barley, or raisins." Then a man from the community or a debtor came to him with wheat. He said, "That is not the value of Mu'awiyah. I do not accept it and I do not deal with it."  

أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ وَذَكَرُوا عِنْدَهُ صَدَقَةَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «لَا أُخْرِجُ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُ أُخْرِجُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعَ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ صَاعَ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ أَقِطٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تِلْكَ قِيمَةُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَا أَقْبَلُهَا وَلَا أَعْمَلُ بِهَا»  

[Machine] "I never used to give out anything except a saa' (a unit of measurement), as we used to give during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a saa' of dates, or a saa' of barley, or a saa' of raisins, or a saa' of dry cottage cheese, which is for the obligatory charity of breaking the fast."  

«لَا أُخْرِجُ أَبَدًا إِلَّا صَاعًا إِنَّا كُنَّا نُخْرِجُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعَ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعَ زَبِيبٍ أَوْ صَاعَ أَقِطٍ يَعْنِي فِي صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ »
