Sunan an-Nasai 2508 (Book 23, Hadith 74) #17119
The Obligation of Zakah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the obligation of Zakah (charity) for every male and female, free and slave, a Sa' of barley or dates, or half a Sa' of wheat.

When he was the governor of Al-Basrah, at the end of the month, Ibn 'Abbas said: "Give Zakah of your fast". The people looked at one another, so he said: "Whoever is here from the people of Al-Madinah, get up and teach your brothers, for they do not know that this Zakah was enjoined by the Messenger of Allah upon every male and female, free and slave, a Sa' of barley or dates, or half a Sa' of wheat".So they got up. (Da'if) Hisham contradicted him, he said: "From Muhammad bin Sirin".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْبَصْرَةِ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ أَخْرِجُوا زَكَاةَ صَوْمِكُمْ ‏.‏ فَنَظَرَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَا هُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قُومُوا فَعَلِّمُوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الزَّكَاةَ فَرَضَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى حُرٍّ وَمَمْلُوكٍ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ قَمْحٍ ‏.‏ فَقَامُوا ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُ هِشَامٌ فَقَالَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the obligation to give charity known as zakat. It was enjoined by the Prophet Muhammad upon every male and female, free and slave. The amount that should be given is a sa’ which is equivalent to four mudds or three kilograms in weight. It can be given in form of barley, dates or half a sa’ in wheat. When Ibn Abbas was governor at Al-Basrah he reminded people to give zakat at the end of each month but they were unaware so he asked those from Madinah to teach their brothers about it as they knew better due to living with Prophet Muhammad for many years.
