Sunan Abi Dawud 1622 (Book 9, Hadith 67) #21914
The Importance of Charity at the End of Ramadan

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of giving charity at the end of Ramadan and how it should be done.

Al-Hasan said: Ibn Abbas preached towards the end of Ramadan on the pulpit (in the mosque) of al-Basrah. He said: Bring forth the sadaqah relating to your fast. The people, as it were, could not understand. Which of the people of Medina are present here? Stand for your brethren, and teach them, for they do not know. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed this sadaqah as one sa' of dried dates or barley, or half a sa' of wheat payable by every freeman or slave, male or female, young or old. When Ali came (to Basrah), he found that price had come down. He said: Allah has given prosperity to you, so give one sa' of everything (as sadaqah). The narrator Humayd said: Al-Hasan maintained that the sadaqah at the end of Ramadan was due on a person who fasted.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ خَطَبَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي آخِرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوا صَدَقَةَ صَوْمِكُمْ فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا فَقَالَ مَنْ هَا هُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُومُوا إِلَى إِخْوَانِكُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ قَمْحٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ - رضى الله عنه - رَأَى رُخْصَ السِّعْرِ قَالَ قَدْ أَوْسَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَوْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ صَاعًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَرَى صَدَقَةَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى مَنْ صَامَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of giving charity at the end of Ramadan. It was narrated by Al-Hasan who said that Ibn Abbas preached on a pulpit in al-Basrah and asked people to bring forth their sadaqah relating to their fast. He then asked if any people from Medina were present so they could teach others as they did not know about this sadaqah. The Messenger of Allah prescribed one sa' worth of dried dates or barley or half a sa' worth wheat for every freeman or slave, male or female, young or old as sadaqah for those who fasted during Ramadan. When Ali came to Basrah he found that prices had come down so he asked them to give one sa' worth instead. This hadith teaches us about the importance and necessity for Muslims to give charity during this blessed month in order to gain rewards from Allah SWT and also help those in need around us. It is important for us all to remember that we should always strive towards helping others no matter what our financial situation is like as it will benefit both ourselves and those around us in this world and also in the hereafter InshaAllah!
