English translation
1622. It was reported from Humaid, who said: "We were informed from Al-Ḥasan, that he said: 'Ibn 'Abbās once gave a sermon on the Minbar of (the Masjid of) Al-Baṣrah, towards the end of Ramaḍān, and he said: "Give the Sadaqah that is due for your fast," but it appeared as if the people did not know. So he asked: "Who among you is from the people of Al-Madinah? Go to your brothers and teach them, for they do not know. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has obligated this charity as a Ṣā' of dried dates or barely, or half a Ṣā' of wheat, for every (person), free-man or slave, male or female, young or old." But when 'Ali came (to Al-Baṣrah), he saw that (these items) were cheap, so he said: "Allāh has given you in abundance, so if only you were to make it one Ṣā' of everything." Humaid said: "Al-Ḥasan used to hold the opinion that the Zakāt of Ramaḍān was only due upon those who fasted." (Da'if)
