حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَفَرَضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ أَوْ قَالَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى الذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى وَالْحُرِّ وَالْمَمْلُوكِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَعَدَلَ النَّاسُ بِهِ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يُعْطِي التَّمْرَ فَأَعْوَزَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ التَّمْرِ فَأَعْطَى شَعِيرًا فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُعْطِي عَنْ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لِيُعْطِي عَنْ بَنِيَّ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يُعْطِيهَا الَّذِينَ يَقْبَلُونَهَا وَكَانُوا يُعْطُونَ قَبْلَ الْفِطْرِ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ

Narrated by Abu An-Nu'man, narrated by Hammad bin Zaid, narrated by Ayyub, from Nafi,, from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed Zakat al-Fitr, or he Sa'dRamadan, for every male and female, free or slave, as one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley. People then equated it to half a sa' of wheat. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to give dates, but when the people of Medina faced a shortage of dates, they gave barley. Ibn 'Umar would give on behalf of the young and old, even for infants, and he gave it to those entitled to receive it, one or two days before Eid al-Fitr.
