َنَّہُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِیدٍ الْخُدْرِیَّ رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہُ یَقُولُ: کُنَّا نُخْرِجُ زَکَاۃَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِیِرٍ، أَوْصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، أوْ صَاعًا مِنْ زَبِیْبٍ
مسند امام شافی · Hadith 665
The Prophet Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, may God be pleased with him, says: We used to give the Zakat Zakat al-Fitr, whether it was a matter of food, or whether it was a matter of affliction or famine.
