أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ - قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، خَطَبَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَدُّوا زَكَاةَ صَوْمِكُمْ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَا هُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُومُوا إِلَى إِخْوَانِكُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَضَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ عَلَى الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ وَالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدِ وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ .
‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us; he said: Yazid—meaning Ibn Harun—narrated to us; he said: Humayd informed us, from al-Hasan, that Ibn ‘Abbas delivered a sermon in al-Basrah and said: “Pay the zakat due for your fast.” The people began looking at one another. He said: “Those of you here from the people of Madinah, stand and teach your brothers, for they do not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed the charity of al-Fitr for the young and the old, the free and the enslaved, males and females: half a sa‘ of wheat, or one sa‘ of dates or barley.”
Translation notes
The sa‘ is a traditional measure of capacity; its modern volume varies by conversion.
