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."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ مَا لَكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً تُعْتِقُهَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ إِطْعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَمَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهَا تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ فَقَالَ أَنَا قَالَ خُذْهَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا يُرِيدُ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have ruined myself." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What happened?" The man replied, "I have harmed my family during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you have a slave?" The man replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Can you feed sixty poor people?" The man replied, "I cannot find them." Then, the Prophet ﷺ was brought a basket of dates and he said, "Go, give this in charity." The man said, "There are people poorer than me. By the One who has sent you with the truth, there are people in more need of this than us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "Take it and give it to your family." Az-Zuhri said, "This ruling was only for that man. If a person harms his family during Ramadan today, he does not have any option but to make expiation."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا أَجِدُهُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا رُخْصَةً لِلرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَصَابَ أَهْلَهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was scratching his head and hitting his chest, saying, "Al-A'bad (the distant ones) have been destroyed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Destroyed in what way?" The man said, "Today, I have fallen upon my family, and it is in Ramadan." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have a slave whom you can set free?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you feed sixty poor people?" The man said, "No." Then the man left, and another man came from the people with a great amount of sweat on him, and his charity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Where is the one who asked? They said, 'He has left.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Call him back.' So they called him back and he said, 'Take this and give it in charity as an expiation for what you have done.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no one more in need than me and my family.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars became visible. He said, 'Eat and feed your family and substitute your fast with it.'"
