Sunan Ibn Majah 1827
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الأَزْهَرِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الصَّدَفِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَةً لِلصَّائِمِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ فَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ .

Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Bashir ibn Dhakwan and Ahmad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us; they said: Marwan ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Abu Yazid al-Khawlani narrated to us, from Sayyar ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Sadafi, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed zakah al-fitr as purification for the fasting person from idle talk and obscenity, and as food for the needy. Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is accepted zakah; whoever pays it after the prayer, it is one charity among other charities.
