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 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] Hurayrah narrates: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am destroyed!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Woe to you! What has happened?' He said, 'I engaged in sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting in Ramadan.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you find a slave to free?' He said, 'No.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you fast for two consecutive months?' He said, 'No.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Can you provide food for sixty poor people?' He said, 'No.' Then the Prophet ﷺ remained silent. Abu Hurayrah said, 'While we were in that state, the Prophet ﷺ was brought some dates in a container, and he said, 'Where is the man who was in need?' So, take this and give it in charity.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the people in my house are even poorer than us.' The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his canines became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it."  

هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً تُعْتِقُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ طَعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ آنِفًا خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[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.

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his hair disheveled and his neck bruised, and he said, "The Abda tribe has perished." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What happened?" He replied, "I unintentionally harmed my family during Ramadan while I was fasting." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you offer the expiation of freeing a slave?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Sit down, and a basket of dates was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Take this and give it in charity." The man replied, "I do not find anyone who is more needy than me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Eat it and observe a day of fasting in place of what you lost." Ataa (one of the narrators) said, "So, I asked Sa'eed, 'How much does this basket of dates weigh?' He replied, 'Between fifteen and twenty sa' (a measurement unit).'"  

أَتَى أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْتِفُ شَعْرَهُ وَيُضْرَبُ نَحْرُهُ وَيَقُولُ هَلَكَ الْأَبْعَدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُهْدِيَ بَدَنَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَاجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي قَالَ فَكُلْهُ وَصُمْ يَوْمًا مَكَانَ مَا أَصَبْتَ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدًا كَمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَرَقِ؟ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا إِلَى عِشْرِينَ هَكَذَا
