Abdullah bin Thalabah bin Sagheer or Thalabah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give (as Sadaqat al-Fitr) one sa’ of wheat (which will be given on behalf of two people), or one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of barley, on behalf of every free person, slave, young and old."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give one sa’ of food."

Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when two men came to him. One of them complained of poverty and destitution, and the other complained of the insecurity of the roads. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for the matter of the insecurity of the roads, it is only for a short time; after that (there will be such peace that) caravans carrying grain will travel towards Makkah without a guard. And as for poverty and destitution, (do not worry about it) before the Hour is established, one of you will go around with his charity but (due to the abundance of wealth) he will not find anyone who will accept his charity. (Remember that) each one of you will stand before Allah, and there will be no veil between them nor any interpreter to interpret. Allah will ask: Did I not give you wealth? He will say: Of course. Then Allah will ask: Did I not send a messenger to you? He will say: Of course. So when he looks to his right, he will see only the Fire, and when he looks to his left, he will see only the Fire. So let each of you protect himself from the Fire, even if it be with half a date, and if he does not find that, then with a good word.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam! If you spend what is surplus to your needs, it is better for you, and if you withhold it, it is bad for you. And Allah does not reproach for sustenance that is just sufficient. And begin (spending) with your dependents, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal! Spend, and do not fear poverty from the One who is the Lord of the Throne." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Bilal bin Rabah, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, and Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them).

Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib رضي الله عنه narrates that the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Feeding yourself is charity for you, feeding your son is charity for you, feeding your wife is charity for you, and feeding your servant is charity for you."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Charity from the earnings of a person with little wealth is best, and begin (spending) with those whose maintenance is your responsibility."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“(A milk-giving animal) given as a gift is the best charity, the one who gives a bowl of milk in the morning and one in the evening.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates attributing the hadith to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Is there not a person who would give a she-camel as a gift to such a family who do not have milk, so that he may give them a large bowl of milk in the morning and one in the evening? Indeed, its reward is very great."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hidden charity extinguishes the wrath of the Lord." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far, Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, Sayyidah Umm Salamah, Sayyiduna Abu Umamah, Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Haydah, and Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them all).
