Qays b. Saʿd (ra) said, “The Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded us to give ṣadaqa al-fiṭr (alms at the end of Ramadan) before the command to give zakāt was revealed. When the command to give zakāt was revealed, he neither told us to do it (ṣadaqa al-fiṭr) nor told us not to do it. So we used to do it.”
(al-Nasaʾi, al-Zakat, 35; IM1828, Ibn Maja, al-Zakat, 21)
Muʿadh b. Jabal (ra) said, “I was accompanying the Prophet (saw) on a journey. . . . At one point he said, ‘Shall I inform you of the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield. Giving alms (ṣadaqa) extinguishes sin like water extinguishes fire. And (another of the gates of goodness) is getting up at night to pray.’ Then he recited the verses, ‘Their sides shun their beds in order to pray to their Lord in fear and hope; they give to others some of what We have given to them. No soul knows what joy is kept hidden in store for them as a reward for what they have done (al-Sajda, 32:16-17).’” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Iman, 8)
Ibn ʿAbbas (ra) said, “The Messenger of Allah (saw) made (paying) the zakāt at the breaking of the fast obligatory in order to cleanse the one who is fasting from foolish talk and obscene behavior and as food for the poor. If one pays it before the prayer (ṣalāt) (of the holiday), it will be accepted as zakāt. If one pays it after the prayer, it will be (considered) ṣadaqa like other ṣadaqa.” (Abu Daʾud, al-Zakat, 18; IM1827, Ibn Maja al-Zakat, 21)
Ibn ʿUmar (ra) said, “The Messenger of Allah (saw) made obligatory the payment of one ṣāʿ (a cubic measure) of dates or one ṣāʿ of barley as zakāt at the breaking of the fast for every Muslim, slave or free, male or female, young or old; and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to perform the holiday prayer.” (al-Bukhari, al-Zakat, 70)
