It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thalabah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people two days before Eid al-Fitr and said: "Give one sa’ of wheat or barley between two people, or one sa’ of dates or one sa’ of barley for every free and slave, young and old. Allah Almighty, through its blessing, will purify the wealth of your rich and grant even more to the needy."
