Mishkat al-Masabih 1819
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ مُنَادِيًا فِي فِجَاجِ مَكَّةَ: «أَلَا إِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ مُدَّانِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ أَوْ سِوَاهُ أَوْ صَاع من طَعَام» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Amr ibn Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, reported that the Prophet ﷺ sent a caller through the mountain passes of Mecca, announcing: ‘Indeed, zakat al-fitr is obligatory for every Muslim, male or female, free or enslaved, young or old: two mudds of wheat or similar grain, or one saʿ of food.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it.
Translation notes
The Arabic says ‘two mudds of wheat or other [grain]’ or ‘one saʿ of food’; the measure definitions are not included in this source passage.
