[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have caused destruction." He ﷺ said, "Woe to you, what is that?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan." He ﷺ said, "Free a slave." He said, "I cannot find (a slave)." He ﷺ said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I am unable (to do that)." He ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor people." He said, "I cannot find (that)." Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ with a trunk containing dates, which was equivalent to fifteen saa' (a measure of weight). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take it and give it as charity." He said, "Shall I give it to someone needier than my family? By Allah, there is no one in Madinah more in need than my family." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars became visible, then he said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah and feed your family with it." Abu Al-Hasan Al-Daraqutni, who is a reliable narrator, said, "This is an authentic chain of narration." The Shaykh said, "And likewise."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي يَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعِرْقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرِ اللهَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ الْحَافِظُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he mentioned a story about a man who was told to feed sixty poor individuals. The man expressed his inability to do so, and then the Prophet ﷺ was brought a piece of meat containing fifteen sa’ of dates. The Prophet ﷺ said to the man, "Take this and feed sixty poor individuals." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us that Abu Ahmad informed us that Abu Bakr bin Dalluwayh informed him that Ahmad bin Hafs narrated to me on the authority of my father who narrated from Ibrahim bin Tahman who heard it from Umar bin Sa'id who heard it from Talq bin Habib who heard it from Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib that he said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned a story about feeding a certain number of people, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a container containing fifteen sa’ of food that would be enough for sixty quarters. The Prophet ﷺ told the man, "Go and give charity with this." This had already been mentioned in the book of Al-A’mash from Talq in the book of Adh-Dhahhir.  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْمُوَاقِعِ قَالَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعِرْقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَأَطْعِمْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا 19971 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَلُّوَيْهِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْمُوَاقِعِ قَالَ فِيهِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ يَكُونُ سِتِّينَ رُبُعًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا وَقَدْ مَضَى ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ طَلْقٍ فِي كِتَابِ الظِّهَارِ  

[Machine] He used to say that giving food to the poor is sufficient as an expiation for breaking an oath by providing a handful of wheat for every needy person.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ يُجْزِئُ طَعَامُ الْمَسَاكِينِ فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ مُدُّ حِنْطَةٍ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ  

[Machine] "He would feed ten poor people with a measure of wheat, and he would free a slave every time he swore an oath."  

يَمِينِهِ بِإِطْعَامِ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مُدٌّ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ وَكَانَ يُعْتِقُ الْمَرَّةَ إِذَا وَكَّدَ الْيَمِينَ  

[Machine] Every poor person has a limit, a limit.  

لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ مُدٌّ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah saying in this mosque, three things, in which there is an extension, an extension in expiating an oath of falsehood, in expiating a mistaken statement, and as a ransom of feeding a poor person.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْيَاءَ فِيهِنَّ مُدٌّ مُدٌّ فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ وَفِي كَفَّارَةِ الظِّهَارِ وَفِدْيَةُ طَعَامِ مِسْكِينٍ  

[Machine] He said, "I have not met people except that when they give for the expiation of an oath, they give the smallest amount of wheat as the measure, and they consider that to be sufficient for them."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ إِذَا أَعْطَوا فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ أَعْطَوا مُدًّا مِنَ الْحِنْطَةِ بِالْمُدِّ الْأَصْغَرِ وَرَأَوْا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مُجْزِئٌ عَنْهُمْ  

[Machine] About Al-Hasan and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, they said about expiation, "It can be the measurement of wheat or the measurement of barley."  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا فِي الْكَفَّارَةِ مُدُّ حِنْطَةٍ أوْ مُدُّ شَعِيرٍ  

[Machine] "That I give them, and when you see that I have done that, then feed on my behalf ten needy people, giving each of them a saa' of wheat or a saa' of dates. This is something that Umar used to see, and perhaps he preferred to increase and reward less than that, based on what we mentioned."  

أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَنِي قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَطْعِمْ عَنِّي عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مِسْكِينَيْنِ صَاعًا مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَهَذَا شَيْءٌ كَانَ يَرَاهُ عُمَرُ ؓ وَلَعَلَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يَزِيدَ وَيُجْزِئُ أَقَلُّ مِنْهُ بِدَلِيلِ مَا ذَكَرْنَا
