[Machine] An Arab man came, slapping his face and tearing out his hair, and said, "I see nothing but destruction for myself." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What has caused your destruction?" He replied, "I have harmed my family during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to free a slave?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to feed sixty poor people?" He replied, "No." Then, the need was mentioned and the Prophet ﷺ was brought a sack containing fifteen measures of dates. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is the man?" The man replied, "Feed this to my family." The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no one between the two sides of the garment who is more in need of this than you." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molar teeth could be seen and said, "Feed it to your family."
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ يَلْطِمُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَنْتِفُ شَعَرَهُ وَيَقُولُ مَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا قَدْ هَلَكْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا وَذَكَرَ الْحَاجَةَ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِزِنْبِيلٍ وَهُوَ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَحْسَبُهُ تَمْرًا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ هَذَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ
