nasai:2506Ismāʿīl b. Masʿūd > Yazīd b. Zurayʿ > Shuʿbah > al-Ḥakam b. ʿUtaybah > al-Qāsim b. Mukhaymirah > ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl > Qays b. Saʿd b. ʿUbādah

"We used to fast on 'Ashura and give Zakatul-Fitr, and when the command to fast in Ramadan was revealed, and the command to give Zakah was revealed, we were neither commanded to give it, nor told not to do so, and we used to do it."  

النسائي:٢٥٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ

كُنَّا نَصُومُ عَاشُورَاءَ وَنُؤَدِّي زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ وَنَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَكُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ  

nasai:2507Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Wakīʿ > Sufyān > Salamah b. Kuhayl > al-Qāsim b. Mukhaymirah > Abū ʿAmmār al-Hamdānī > Qays b. Saʿd

"The Messenger of Allah commanded us to give Sadaqatul Fitr before the command to give Zakah was revealed. When the command to give Zakah was revealed, he neither told us to do it, not told us not to do it, and we used to do it." (Sahih) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Abu 'Ammar's name is 'Arib bin Humaid, and 'Amr bin Shurabbil's Kunyah is Abu Maisarah, and Salamah bin Kuhail contradicted Al-Hakam in his chain, and Al-Hakam is more reliable than Salamah bin Kuhail.  

النسائي:٢٥٠٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ اسْمُهُ عَرِيبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ خَالَفَ الْحَكَمَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَالْحَكَمُ أَثْبَتُ مِنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ
