It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made obligatory the Sadaqat al-Fitr of one sa’ of barley, or one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of raisins, or one sa’ of cheese, upon every Muslim free person, slave, man and woman, young and old.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sadaqat al-Fitr is obligatory upon the Muslims: one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of raisins, or one sa’ of cheese, or one sa’ of barley."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to instruct people to give half a sa' of wheat or one sa' of dates as Sadaqat al-Fitr. So Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said that we will give the same thing and the same amount as we used to give during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that is, one sa' of dates, or one sa' of cheese, or one sa' of raisins, or one sa' of barley.
