I don't believe we have rotation information about any planets outside the Solar System yet (orbital characteristics, yes; rotation, no). In the Solar System, Jupiter has the shortest rotational period at a little under 10 hours.

What is the fastest spinning planet?

I think the question meant to ask "fastest rotating", not fastest "revolving".The fastest rotating plant in the Solar System is Jupiter, at 9 hours 50 minutes for each rotation. Since it is also the largest planet, at an equatorial diameter of 142,800 kilometers, that means that its equatorial velocity is 91,000 kilometers per hour, or about 57,000 miles per hour.
