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.

Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed as zakat payable by slave and freeman, male and female, among the muslims on closing the fast of Ramadan one sa of dried dates or one sa’ of barley. (This tradition was read out byu Abdullah bin Maslamah to Malik)

Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed sadaqah at the end of Ramadan one sa’ of barley and dried dates, payable by young and old freeman and slave. The version of Musa adds: “ male and female”. Abu Dawud said: the words “male and female” narrated, by Ayyub and Abdullah al Umar were narrated in their version on the authority of Nafi.

Abdullah bin Thalabah ibn Suayr reported on the authority of his father: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and gave a sermon; he commanded to give sadaqah, at the end of Ramadan when the fasting is closed, one sa' of dried dates or of barley payable by every person. The narrator Ali added in his version: "or one sa' of wheat to be taken from every two. " Both the chains of narrators are then agreed upon the version: "payable by young and old, freeman and slave. "
