[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.
