It was narrated by Yahya who heard it from Malik who heard it from Zayd Ibn Aslam who heard it from lyad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sad Ibn Abi Sarh Al Amiri who heard it directly from Abu Said Al Khudri. The zakat al fitr was paid with a sa of wheat, barley, dates, dried sour milk or raisins according to the Prophet Muhammad's sa.
