[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).'"

malik:18-31 – Mālik > ʿAṭāʾ b. ʿAbdullāh al-Khurāsānī > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ata ibn Abdullah al-Khurasani that Said ibn al-Musayyab said, "A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ beating his breast and tearing out his hair and saying, 'I am destroyed.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Why is that?', and he said, 'I had intercourse with my wife while fasting in Ramadan.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, 'Are you able to free a slave?', and the man said, 'No.' Then he asked him, 'Are you able to give away a camel?', and the man replied, 'No.' He said, 'Sit own,' and someone brought a large basket of dates to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to the man, 'Take this and give it away as sadaqa.' The man said, 'There is no one more needy than me,' and (the Messenger of Allah ﷺ), said, 'Eat them, and fast one day for the day when you had intercourse.' " Malik said that Ata said that he had asked Said ibn al-Musayyab how many dates there were in that basket, and he said, "Between fifteen and twenty sas.''

[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.'"
