[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that a man had relations with his wife during Ramadan. He then sought advice from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have a slave whom you can free?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then asked him, "Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Feed sixty poor persons." Ibn Bukair added in his narration that they should be consecutive days.

A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramadan (while he was fasting), and he came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his verdict concerning that action. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons."

البخاري:٦٨٢١ – حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا

Can you find a slave (to grant him freedom)? He said: No. He (the Prophet again) said: Can you afford to observe fasts for two (consecutive) months? He said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then feed sixty poor men.

مسلم:١١١١c – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

nasai-kubra:3103 – Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > al-Layth > Ibn Shihāb > Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAwf > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] A man had intercourse with his wife during Ramadan, so he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you have a slave to set free?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor people." Abu 'Abdul-Rahman (narrator) said, "This is the correct opinion, and the hadith of Ashhab from Layth is a mistake. It should be 'Ashhab narrated the hadith from Malik.'

أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الصَّوَابُ وَحَدِيثُ أَشْهَبَ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ خَطَأٌ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ أَشْهَبُ حَمَلَ حَدِيثَ اللَّيْثِ عَلَى حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ
