حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُخْرِجُ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ زَبِيبٍ.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri Narrated from:
We used to give one Sâ' of meal or one Sâ' of barley or one Sâ' of dates, or one Sâ' of Iqt (dried yoghurt or cottage cheese) or one Sâ' of raisins (dried grapes) as Zakât-ul-Fitr. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 582, Vol. 2)
