Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us; Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa‘d ibn Ammar, the caller to prayer, narrated to us; Umar ibn Hafs narrated to us, from Ammar ibn Sa‘d, the caller to prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered zakah al-fitr: one sa‘ of dates, one sa‘ of barley, or one sa‘ of sult.

Sa‘ is retained as a traditional measure. Sult is retained as a grain name because the source does not describe it further.
