قال وكيع بن الجراح : زكاة الفطر لشهر رمضان كسجدتي السهو للصلاة تجبر نقصان الصوم كما يجبر السهو نقصان الصلاة.
Imaam Wakī’ b. al-Jarrāḥ Raḥimahullāh said:
“Zakāt-ul-Fiṭr for the month of Ramaḍān is like the Sajdat-ul-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness) for the prayer. It compensates for the deficiencies of fasting just as the Sajdat-ul-Sahw compensates for the deficiencies of prayer.”

Bismillāh
Allāh, The Might and Sublime, says:
[1]: Verily! We have sent it (this Qurān) down in the night of al-Qadr.
[2]: And what will make you know what the night of al-Qadr is?
[3]: The night of al-Qadr is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allāh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).
[4]: Therein descend the angels and Jibrīl by Allāh’s permission with all decrees.
[5]: Peace! until the appearance of dawn. [Sūrah al-Qadr (97): 1-5]
Imām al-S’adī [d. 1376 AH], may Allāh have mercy on him,commented on this sūrah by saying:
Allāh, the Most High, says: ‘Verily! We have sent it (i.e. this Qurān) down in the night of al-Qadr.’ – He, the Most High, revealed this verse in order to make clear it’s (i.e the night al-Qadr’s) virtue and its high standing. He, The Most High, also says [in another place in the Qurān]: ‘Verily! We have sent it (this Qurān) down on a blessed night.’
What is meant is that Allāh, the Most High, sent it down in Ramaḍān, on the night of al-Qadr. [And by doing so], He, the Most High, showed great mercy to His slaves; and [His] slaves are unable to show [sufficient] thanks for this blessing.
The night of al-Qadr has been named so due to its greatness and virtue to Allāh. It has also been named that because it is the night wherein it is decreed what will happen this year. Life spans, provisions and destinies will all be decreed on this night.
[After this verse], Allāh, the Most High, magnifies the affair and status of the night of al-Qadr by saying: ‘And what will make you know what the night of al-Qadr is?’ In other words: Indeed its affair is lofty, and its significance is great.
[Then, Allāh, the Most High, says]: ‘The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allāh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months). – [Noble Quran]
Meaning, its virtue is that of a thousand months. Therefore, [a worshipper’s righteous] actions that night are better than worshipping Allāh a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months) other than it.
This is something that bewilders the minds and astonishes the intellects. Allāh, the Most High, has bestowed upon this weak nation great strength by providing them with a night wherein their [righteous] actions are equal to and greater than those performed in a thousand months other than it.
[Realize O Muslim], that a life span of eighty years is viewed as a long life; [yet, one is able to achieve a life time of worship in one night].
[Then, Allah, the Most High, says]: Therein descend the angels and the Rūh [Jibrīl] by Allāh’s Permission with all decrees. In other words: The descent of the angels that night is plentiful.
[And in the last verse] He, the Most High, says: ‘Peace! until the appearance of dawn.’ In other words: There is safety that night from all evil and harm, beginning from when the sun sets until the sun has fully risen.
And there are an abundance of ḥadīth discussing its (the night of al-Qadr’s) virtue and that it is in the last ten nights of Ramaḍān, specifically the odd nights. These characteristics will remain until the [final] hour is established.
For this reason, the Messenger of Allah, used to seclude himself in the Masjid and increase in worship during the last ten nights in Ramaḍān, hoping that his acts of worship would fall on the night of al-Qadr. (1)
