Hadith 1828
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّكَاةُ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا ، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ " .
´It was narrated that:` Qais bin Sa'ad said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr upon is before (the command of) Zakat was revealed. He neither ordered us (to pay) nor forbade us (from paying it), so we did it.”

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not give a new command; the previous command was sufficient. The obligation of zakat being revealed did not abrogate the charity of Fitr (sadaqat al-fitr); rather, its obligation remained as it was.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Apparently, from this hadith it seems that the payment of Sadaqat al-Fitr is not obligatory. However, from the diligence of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in collecting Sadaqat al-Fitr and distributing it among the poor, it can be inferred that the obligation of Sadaqat al-Fitr was not abrogated by the revelation of the rulings of zakat.
➋
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not prohibit the payment of Sadaqat al-Fitr. This also indicates that its legislation was not abrogated; otherwise, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would have clearly stated that its payment is no longer necessary.
