Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ ‏.‏

Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Waki‘ narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from al-Qasim ibn Mukhaymirah, from Abu Ammar, from Qays ibn Sa‘d, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to give zakah al-fitr before zakah was revealed. When zakah was revealed, he neither commanded us nor forbade us, and we continued to do it.
