Be generous in your contributions and give according to what you can afford.

This hadith explains the practice of paying Salaqatul Fitr during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was narrated by Abu Sa'eed that people used to pay a Sa’of food, dates, barley or cottage cheese as their contribution for this charity. Later on Mu’awiyah from Ash-Sham suggested that two Mudds of wheat from Ash-Sham were equivalent to a Sa'. This suggests that people should be generous in their contributions and give according to what they can afford. It also teaches us about being mindful and considerate when it comes to charity and helping those in need.
