It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that the Sadaqat al-Fitr should be given before the people go out for Eid.

. (Second chain) It is similar to the previous hadith, except that it explicitly states: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the giving of Zakat al-Fitr before the people went to the Eid prayer ground. In one narration, it is: before going for the Eid prayer. The hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Thalabah (may Allah be pleased with him) has already been mentioned, according to which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a sermon to the people two days before Eid al-Fitr and said: Give one sa’ of wheat as Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of every two persons. Also, in the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), it has already been stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the Zakat al-Fitr of Ramadan obligatory.
