أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ خَطَبَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَدُّوا زَکَاةَ صَوْمِکُمْ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَی بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُومُوا إِلَی إِخْوَانِکُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَضَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ عَلَی الصَّغِيرِ وَالْکَبِيرِ وَالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدِ وَالذَّکَرِ وَالْأُنْثَی نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1585
It was narrated from Hasan that Ibn ‘Abbas gave a Khutbah in Al-Basrah and said: “Pay the Zakah of your fasting.” The people started looking at one another. He said: “Whoever there is here from the people of AlMadinah, get up and teach your brothers, for they do not know that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم enjoined Sadaqat Al-Fitr on the young and the old, the free and the slave, the male and the female; half a Sa’ of wheat or a Sa’ of dried dates or barley.” (Da’if)
