Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 25
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ اَلْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ» صَدَقَةَ اَلْفِطْرَةِ أَنَّهَا عَلَى كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مِنْ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ زَبِيبٍ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ ذُرَةٍ« قَالَ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ« لَعَنَهُ اَللَّهُ» وَخَصَبَ اَلنَّاسُ عَدَلَ اَلنَّاسُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ صَاعٍ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ«.
And from him, from Fadalah, from Abu al-Maghra, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Hadhdha, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam عليه السلام mentioned “the charity of al-Fitrah, that it is upon every young and old, from free person or slave, male or female. It is one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of raisins, or one sa’ of barley, or one sa’ of maize.” And Imam عليه السلام said: “Then when it was in the time of Muawiyah (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى curse him) and the people became prosperous, the people turned away from that to half a sa’ of wheat.”
