Hadith 23843

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا ، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered the payment of Sadaqat al-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ordered us to pay Sadaqat al-Fitr nor forbade it, but we ourselves continued to pay it.
