اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، 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 نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ " , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : أَبُو عَمَّارٍ اسْمُهُ عَرِيبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ يُكْنَى أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ خَالَفَ الْحَكَمَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَالْحَكَمُ أَثْبَتُ مِنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ .
´It was narrated that Qais bin Sa'd said:` "The Messenger of Allah commanded us to give Sadaqatul Fitr before the command to give Zakah was revealed. When the command to give Zakah was revealed, he neither told us to do it, not told us not to do it, and we used to do it." (Sahih) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Abu 'Ammar's name is 'Arib bin Humaid, and 'Amr bin Shurabbil's Kunyah is Abu Maisarah, and Salamah bin Kuhail contradicted Al-Hakam in his chain, and Al-Hakam is more reliable than Salamah bin Kuhail.

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, the presence of "Amr ibn Shurahbil" in the chain is more established compared to "Abi Ammar al-Hamdani," although the original narrator being "Amr ibn Shurahbil ibn Sa‘id ibn Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubadah" is more likely, because the hadith is narrated from "Qays ibn Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubadah," and this Amr is "layyin al-hadith" (weak in hadith). And even if this hadith is narrated from "Amr ibn Shurahbil Abu Mayasarah," it is still contrary to the hadith of the two Sahihs regarding "the obligation of Sadaqat al-Fitr (charity of breaking the fast)," and therefore it is shaadh (anomalous).
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
In the previous narration, Hazrat Hakam mentioned Qasim bin Mukhaimirah’s teacher as Amr bin Shurahbil, whereas Salamah bin Kuhail mentioned Abu Ammar Hamdani.

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.
