11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have been ruined." Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked what was the matter with him. He replied "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting." Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ . He asked, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Take this (basket of dates) and give it in charity." The man said, "Should I give it to a person poorer than I? By Allah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains who are poorer than I." The Prophet ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1936)
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً تُعْتِقُهَا؟ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ إِطْعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ آنِفًا خُذْ هَذَا التَّمْرَ فَتَصَدَّقْ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا يُرِيدُ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ
[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have perished." He (the Prophet) said, "Woe to you! What happened?". The man said, "I fell upon my family on a day in the month of Ramadan." He (the Prophet) said, "Free a slave." The man said, "I cannot find one." He (the Prophet) said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." The man said, "I am not able to do that." He (the Prophet) said, "Then feed sixty poor people." The man said, "I cannot find (enough)." He (the Prophet) said, "Then bring a basket of dates, it contains fifteen saa' (a unit of measurement)." He (the Prophet) said, "Take it and give it in charity." The man said, "To someone who is poorer than my family? By Allah, between the two lava plains of Medina there is none poorer than my family." The Messenger of Allah laughed until his canines were visible. He (the Prophet) said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah, and feed your family with it." And so on.
قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ مَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَوَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْ أَهْلِي قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرِ اللهَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] Hurayrah narrates: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am destroyed!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Woe to you! What has happened?' He said, 'I engaged in sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting in Ramadan.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you find a slave to free?' He said, 'No.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you fast for two consecutive months?' He said, 'No.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you provide food for sixty poor people?' He said, 'No.' Then the Prophet ﷺ remained silent. Abu Hurayrah said, 'While we were in that state, the Prophet ﷺ was brought some dates in a container, and he said, 'Where is the man who was in need?' So, take this and give it in charity.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the people in my house are even poorer than us.' The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his canines became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it."
هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً تُعْتِقُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ طَعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ آنِفًا خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ
[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I have been burned." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Why?" He replied, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give charity, give charity." The man said, "I do not have anything." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to sit down, and someone brought him two handfuls of food, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to give it as charity. This is the wording of the hadith of Muhammad ibn al-Rumh, and in another narration, Yahya ibn Bukayr also reported this hadith. Then the man was commanded to stay, and someone brought him a bowl of food, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to give it as charity.
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ احْتَرَقْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِمَ قَالَ وَطِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ نَهَارًا قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ تَصَدَّقْ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَجَاءَهُ عَرَقَانِ فِيهِمَا طَعَامٌ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الرُّمْحِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ فَجَاءَهُ عَرَقٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ
[Machine] A Bedouin Arab came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was trimming his hair and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I came to my family during Ramadan and he ordered me to perform the expiation for having sexual relations during the day (fasting) as well as for the ejaculation."
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَنْتِفُ شَعْرَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَيْتُ أَهْلِيَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ كَفَّارَةَ الظِّهَارِ وَكَذَلِكَ
