Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said regarding Sadaqat al-Fitr: "It shall be given on behalf of every young and old, free and slave, which will be half a sa’ of wheat or one sa’ of dates." The narrator has transmitted it as a marfu’ (attributed) hadith in this manner.
