حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّکَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ الزَّکَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1828
It was narrated that Qais bin Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr upon us before (the command of) Zakat was revealed. When (the command of) Zakat was revealed, he neither ordered us (to pay) nor forbade us (from paying it), so we did it." (Sahih)
