حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ خَطَبَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي آخِرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلَی مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوا صَدَقَةَ صَوْمِکُمْ فَکَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا فَقَالَ مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُومُوا إِلَی إِخْوَانِکُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ قَمْحٍ عَلَی کُلِّ حُرٍّ أَوْ مَمْلُوکٍ ذَکَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَی صَغِيرٍ أَوْ کَبِيرٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَأَی رُخْصَ السِّعْرِ قَالَ قَدْ أَوْسَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْکُمْ فَلَوْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ صَاعًا مِنْ کُلِّ شَيْئٍ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ وَکَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَرَی صَدَقَةَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَی مَنْ صَامَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1622
Al-Hasan said: Ibn Abbas preached towards the end of Ramadan on the pulpit (in the mosque) of al-Basrah. He said: Bring forth the sadaqah relating to your fast. The people, as it were, could not understand. Which of the people of Madina are present here? Stand for your brethren, and teach them, for they do not know. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed this sadaqah as one sa' of dried dates or barley, or half a sa' of wheat payable by every freeman or slave, male or female, young or old. When Ali came (to Basrah), he found that price had come down. He said: Allah has given prosperity to you, so give one sa' of everything (as sadaqah). The narrator Humayd said: Al-Hasan maintained that the sadaqah at the end of Ramadan was due on a person who fasted.
