Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the Zakat of Fitr obligatory upon every Muslim, free or slave, male or female, one sa’ of dates or barley.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the giving of Zakat al-Fitr as one sa’ of dates or one sa’ of barley. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that later people made it two mudd (half a sa’) of wheat, equal to that.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said that we used to give one sa' of grain or wheat or one sa' of barley or one sa' of dates or one sa' of cheese or one sa' of raisins (dried grapes or figs) as Zakat al-Fitr.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sadaqat al-Fitr was given as one sa' of wheat, or one sa' of dates, or one sa' of barley, or one sa' of raisins (dried grapes or dried figs). Then when Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah and wheat became available, he said: I think that one mudd of this (wheat) is equivalent to two mudd of the other grains.
