حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِزَکَاةِ الْفِطْرِ أَنْ تُؤَدَّی قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ النَّاسِ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2288
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that when Mu'awiya prescribed half a sa' of wheat equal to one sa' of dates, he (Abu Sa'id al-Khudri) objected to it, and said: I would take out (Sadaqat-ul-Fitr) but that which I used to bring forth during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) one sa' of dates, or one sa' of raisins, or one sa' of barley, or one sa' of cheese.
