Abdullah bin Tha'labah bin Su'ayr narrates from his father, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made Sadaqat al-Fitr obligatory on the young and old alike: one sa' of dates or two mudd (half a sa') of wheat. Most of Imam al-Zuhri's students narrated this hadith from him (al-Zuhri), from Abdullah bin Tha'labah, directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and did not mention his father in it.

Mus'ab bin Abdullah says that Abdullah bin Tha'labah bin Su'ayr bin Abi Su'ayr al-Adawi was born four years before the Hijrah. In the year of the Conquest of Makkah he was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his face and supplicated for blessing for him. At the time of the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) he was fourteen years old. Abdullah bin Tha'labah (whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad) died in the year 89 AH at the age of ninety-three.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Tha'labah bin Su'ayr that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over his head.
