[Machine] Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib narrated that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have committed adultery with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Free a slave." The man replied, "I do not have the means to do so." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." The man said, "I cannot do that either." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor people." The man replied, "I cannot find them." Then, someone brought a container filled with dates, amounting to fifteen sa' (a measurement unit) of dates, which was equivalent to sixty-four quarters of dates. The Prophet ﷺ gave it to the man and said, "Feed sixty poor people with this." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are people between us who are more in need of it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and feed your family with it. This is a confirmation of the connected narration, and this narration is more reliable than the narration of 'Ata' al-Khurasani from Ibn al-Musayyib with doubt in fifteen or twenty. Likewise, it has been narrated from Ibrahim ibn 'Amir from Ibn al-Musayyib with certainty in fifteen. And if Allah wills, it will be narrated in the book of oaths and traditions from the companions about the permissibility of giving a handful of food as charity to each poor person. And Allah is the Guide."

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.
