[Machine] A man broke his fast in Ramadan, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to either free a slave, fast for two consecutive months, or feed sixty poor people. The man said he couldn't do any of these options, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a small amount of dates, and he said, "Take this and give it in charity." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I don't find anyone more in need of it than myself." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then smiled until his teeth showed, and he said, "Take it."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُقَالَ خُذْهُ
