[Machine] A man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a grave sin." The Prophet responded, "What have you done?! May Allah have mercy on you!" The man said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet advised him, "Free a slave, but if you cannot find one, then fast for two consecutive months." The man replied, "I am not capable of doing so." The Prophet then instructed him, "Feed sixty poor people." The man said, "I cannot find them." At that moment, someone brought a container filled with dates to the Prophet and he said, "Take it and give it in charity." The man then said, "O Messenger of Allah, is there anyone in greater need than my family? By the One in whose hand is my soul, there is no one between the two mountain slopes of Madinah more in need than me." The Prophet smiled until his teeth became visible and he said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah, your Lord." Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported that they brought a large container holding fifteen measures [of dates] to the Prophet. Al-Isma'ili did not mention anyone among them except Amr ibn Shu'ayb ibn al-Mubarak. Al-Haql said, "Someone brought five measures [of dates] in a container." Duhaym said, "Woe to you! What is the matter?" The man replied, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife during a day in Ramadan." The man then brought to the Prophet a container filled with fifteen measures [of dates]. The sheikh [narrator] stopped here.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ مَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ قَالَ خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعَلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِي فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا بَيْنَ طُنْبَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجُ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَسْنَانُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ رَبَّكَ وَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ فَأُتِيَ بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَمْرَو بْنَ شُعَيْبٍ غَيْرُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَقَالَ الْهِقْلُ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ دُحَيْمٌ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ  

[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] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man came to him, grabbed his hair and cursed himself. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "What is wrong with you?" The man said, "My wife committed adultery during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ told him to free a slave, but the man said he could not find a slave to free. Then the Prophet ﷺ told him to fast for two consecutive months, but the man said he was unable to. The Prophet ﷺ then told him to feed sixty poor people, but the man said he could not find them. Finally, a basket of dates containing fifteen sa'a (a unit of measurement) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ , and he told the man to feed sixty poor people with it. The man said, "O Prophet of Allah, there are people in my own family who are poorer than us." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Feed yourself and your family." This narration was reported by Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ibrahim Ash-Shafi'i, narrated by Ahmad ibn Ubaydullah, narrated by Yazid ibn Harun, narrated by Al-Hajjaj ibn Artat, narrated by Amr ibn Shuayb, narrated by his father, narrated by his grandfather, narrated by Abu Hurairah.  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يَنْتِفُ شَعْرَهُ وَيَدْعُو وَيْلَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ مَا لَكَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْآخَرَ وَقَعَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَأَطْعِمْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا قَالَ كُلْ أَنْتَ وَعِيَالُكَ 8060 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الشَّافِعِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنبأ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثَ الْوَاقِعِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هَارُونَ وَقَالَ زَادَ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَرَوَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ خَالَفَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ  

[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."  

عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ حَرِّرْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمِكْتَلٍ يَكُونُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ يَكُونُ سِتِّينَ رَبْعًا فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَطْعِمْ هَذَا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا فَقَالَ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ فِي هَذَا الْمُرْسَلِ تَأْكِيدٌ لِلرِّوَايَةِ الْمَوْصُولَةِ وَهَذَا أَوْلَى مِنْ رِوَايَةِ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ بِالشَّكِّ فِي خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ عِشْرِينَ وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ بِلَا شَكٍّ وَسَيُرْوَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِ الْأَيْمَانِ الْآثَارُ عَنِ الصَّحَابَةِ فِي جَوَازِ التَّصْدِقِ بِمُدٍّ عَلَى كُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ وَاللهُ الْمُوَفِّقُ
