Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ اسْمُهُ عَرِيبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ خَالَفَ الْحَكَمَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَالْحَكَمُ أَثْبَتُ مِنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak reported: Waki narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from al-Qasim ibn Mukhaymirah, from Abu Ammar al-Hamdani, from Qays ibn Sad, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to give the sadaqat al-fitr before zakah was prescribed. When zakah was prescribed, he neither commanded us nor forbade us, and we continued doing it. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Abu Ammar was named Arib ibn Humayd; Amr ibn Shurahbil was given the kunya Abu Maysarah; and Salamah ibn Kuhayl differed from al-Hakam in its chain. Al-Hakam is more reliable than Salamah ibn Kuhayl.
