Arabic hadith text

وَعَن ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَ الصِّيَامِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed zakat al-fitr as a purification for fasting from idle and obscene speech, and as food for the poor. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
