Chapter on Best Fitrah and the Amount of the Value

أَبُو اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنُ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ اَلْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ زَيْدٍ اَلشَّحَّامِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :»لَأَنْ أُعْطِيَ صَاعاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَ صَاعاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي اَلْفِطْرَةِ«.
Abu al-Qasim ibn Qulawayh, from his father, from Ahmad ibn Idris, who said: Muhammad ibn Hamdan al-Kufi narrated to me, who said: al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Samaah narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Umarah ibn Marwan, from Zayd al-Shahham, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “For me to give one sa’ of dates is more beloved to me than to give one sa’ of gold in the Fitrah.”
