Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed Sadaqat al-Fitr of one sa’ of dates or barley, or half a sa’ of wheat, upon every free and slave, young and old, male and female.

Hazrat Usman says that Sadaqat-ul-Fitr is one sa’ of dates or half a sa’ of wheat.

Hazrat Abu Qalabah narrates that the person who gave Sadaqat-ul-Fitr to Hazrat Siddiq Akbar told me that it is half a sa’ of food (wheat).

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib in a marfu’ form that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about Sadaqat al-Fitr. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For the young and the old, the free and the slave, it is half a sa’ of wheat or one sa’ of dates or barley.

Ibrahim says that Sadaqat al-Fitr is half a sa’ of wheat upon every small, big, free, and slave, and upon every person.

Hazrat Mujahid says that every person will pay half a sa’ of wheat as Sadaqat al-Fitr. And if someone wishes to give something other than wheat, then he should pay a full sa’ of dates, raisins, cheese, barley, or anything else.

Imam Sha'bi states that Sadaqat al-Fitr is obligatory upon every free person who has fasted during Ramadan, and upon every slave whether he has fasted or not, and it is half a sa' of wheat or one sa' of dates or barley.
