وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، " كَانَ
لَا يُخْرِجُ فِي زَكَاةِ الْفِطْرِ إِلَّا التَّمْرَ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ، فَإِنَّهُ أَخْرَجَ شَعِيرًا "
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to always give dates as Sadaqat al-Fitr, except for one time when he gave barley.
