A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then fast for two successive months." He said, "I cannot." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." He said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Where is the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)." He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I give it to poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two mountains poorer than us." The Prophet ﷺ smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَلِمَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَلَى أَحْوَجَ مِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have been ruined for I have had sexual relation with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting)" The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Manumit a slave." The man said, " I cannot afford that." The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Then) fast for two successive months continuously". The man said, "I cannot do that." The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Then) feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have nothing (to feed them with)." Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity." The man said, "(Shall I give this in charity) to a poorer person than l? By Allah, there is no family in between these two mountains (of Medina) who are poorer than we." The Prophet ﷺ then smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Then (feed) your (family with it).  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَيْسَ لِي قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you?" He said, "I had sexual relation with my wife (while I was fasting) in Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got enough to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you feed sixty poor persons?" The man said, "No." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Sit down," and he sat down. Afterwards an 'Irq, i.e., a big basket containing dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Take this and give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than we?" On that, the Prophet ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then told him, "Feed your family with it." (See Hadith No. 157, Vol 3)  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ  

A man came to the Prophets and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you?" He said, "I have done a sexual relation with my wife (while fasting) in Ramadan" The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you feed sixty poor persons?" He said, "I have nothing." Later on an Irq (big basket) containing dates was given to the Prophet, and the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Take this basket and give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than we? Indeed, there is nobody between its (i.e., Medina's) two mountains who is poorer than we." The Prophet then said, "Take it and feed your family with it."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا ثُمَّ قَالَ خُذْهُ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ  

Messenger of Allah, I am undone. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has brought about your ruin? He said: I have had intercourse with my wife during the month of Ramadan. Upon this he (the Holy prophet) said: Can you find a slave to set him free? He said: NO He (the Prophet again) said: Can you observe fast for two consecutive months? He said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Can you provide food to sixty poor people?, He said: No. He then sat down and (in the meanwhile) there was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a basket which contained dates. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Give these (dates) in charity. He (the man) said: Am I to give to one who is poorer than I? There is no family poorer than mine between the two lava plains of Medina. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his molar teeth became visible and said: Go and give it to your family to eat.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا فَمَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am undone. He asked him: What has happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide food for sixty poor people ? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a huge basket containing dates ('araq) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He then said to him: Give it as sadaqah (i.e. alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer family than mine between the two lave plains of it (Medina). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his eye-teeth became visible, and said: Give it to your family to eat. Musaddad said in another place: "his canine teeth".  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ ثَنَايَاهُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ إِيَّاهُمْ وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ أَنْيَابُهُ  

(A man broke his fast intentionally) during Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to emancipate a slave, or fast for two months, or feed sixty poor men. He said: I cannot provide. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Sit down. Thereafter a huge basket of dates ('araq) was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Take this and give it as sadaqah (alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer than I. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thereupon laughed so that his canine teeth became visible and said: Eat it yourself. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Juraij narrated it from al-Zuhri in the wordings of the narrator Malik that a man broke his fast. This version says: You should either free a slave, or fast for two months, or provide food for sixty poor men.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً أَوْ يَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ كُلْهُ  

A man came and said: "O Messenger of Allah; I am ruined!" He said: "What has ruined you?" He said: "I had sexual relations with my wife during Ramadan." He said: "Are you able to free a slave?" He said, "No." He said: "Then are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He said, "No." He said: "Then are you able to feed sixty needy people?" He said, "No." He said: "Sit." So he sat. A big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet, and he said: "Give it in charity." So he said: "There is no one needier than us between its two mountains." So the Prophet laughing until his pre-molar teeth appeared, and he said: "Then take it to feed your family."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَحَدٌ أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ فَخُذْهُ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Hunayd ibn Abd arRahman ibn Awf from Abu Hurayra that a man broke the fast in Ramadan and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to make kaffara by freeing a slave, or fasting two consecutive months, or feeding sixty poor people, and he said, "I can't do it." Someone brought a large basket of dates to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Take this and give it away as sadaqa." He said, "Messenger of Allah, there is no-ne more needy than I am." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his eye-teeth appeared, and then he said, "Eat them."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا فَقَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ كُلْهُ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am undone. He asked him: What has happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide food for sixty poor people ?

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his eye-teeth became visible, and said: Give it to your family to eat. Musaddad said in another place: "his canine teeth". (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2390)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرْقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا؟ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَتَبَسَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined!" The Prophet asked, "What happened?" The man replied, "I had an incident with my family in Ramadan." The Prophet asked, "Do you have a slave to free?" The man answered, "No." The Prophet asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet asked, "Can you feed sixty poor people?" The man replied, "I cannot find that, O Messenger of Allah." Then, the Prophet was given a fresh date branch and he said, "Go and give this in charity." The man asked, "Is there anyone poorer than me, O Messenger of Allah? By the one who sent you with the truth, among those who live in our neighborhood, there are people who are more in need of it than us." The Messenger of Allah laughed and then said, "Go and give it to your family."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ وَاقَعْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَفَتُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرْقٍ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَذا فَقَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍأَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ  

[Machine] A man broke his fast in Ramadan, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to either free a slave, fast for two consecutive months, or feed sixty poor people. The man said he couldn't do any of these options, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a small amount of dates, and he said, "Take this and give it in charity." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I don't find anyone more in need of it than myself." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then smiled until his teeth showed, and he said, "Take it."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُقَالَ خُذْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to a man and said, "Have you perished?" The man said, "What has caused my destruction?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife in the month of Ramadan." He said, "Then, free a slave." He said, "I cannot afford that." He said, "Then, fast two consecutive months." He said, "I am unable to do so." He said, "Then, feed sixty poor people." He said, "I cannot find them." Then, Allah's Messenger ﷺ was given a basket of dates, so he said, "Where is the questioner? Give this in charity." He said, "Shall I give it to someone poorer than my household, O Messenger of Allah?" By Allah, there is no household around us poorer than ours!" Then, Allah's Messenger ﷺ laughed until his molars were visible.  

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ؟ فَقَالَ «وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟» قَالَ وَاقَعْتُ امْرَأَتِي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ «فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا» فَقَالَ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَأَنْتُمْ إِذًا» وَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am undone. He asked him: What has happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide food for sixty poor people ? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a huge basket containing dates ('araq) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He then said to him: Give it as sadaqah (i.e. alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer family than mine between the two lave plains of it (Medina). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his eye-teeth became visible, and said: Give it to your family to eat. Musaddad said in another place: "his canine teeth".

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكَتُ فَقَالَ «وَمَا شَأْنُكَ»؟ قَالَ وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ بِهِ رَقَبَةً»؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «اجْلِسْ» فَأُتِيَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَهُوَ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ «خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ «خُذْهُ وَأَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ»  

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have been ruined!' He asked, 'What happened?' The man said, 'I accidentally slept with my wife during a day in the month of Ramadan.' The Prophet said, 'Free a slave.' The man replied, 'I cannot afford it.' The Prophet said, 'Then fast for two consecutive months.' The man said, 'I am unable to do that.' The Prophet said, 'Then feed sixty poor people.' The man said, 'I cannot find that many.' The Prophet then brought a basket filled with fifteen saa' worth of dates and said, 'Then give this in charity.' The man replied, 'I swear, the poorest person in my family is more in need of it than my family.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled until his teeth were visible and said, 'Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah, and feed your family with it.'"  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتُ قَالَ «وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالَ وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قَالَ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ «فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ» قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ «خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرِ اللَّهَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ»  

[Machine] A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost everything!" He asked: "And what is that?" The man said: "It fell upon my wife on a day in the month of Ramadan." He said: "Free a slave." The man said: "I do not have one." The Prophet said: "Then fast for two consecutive months." The man said: "I am not capable of doing so." He said: "Then feed sixty poor people." The man said: "I cannot find them." So, the Prophet ﷺ was brought a basket of dates and he said: "Take this and give it in charity." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is on someone other than my family." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his teeth were visible, and then he said: "Take it and seek forgiveness from your Lord."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتُ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالَ وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ مَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فَقَالَ «خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِي فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا بَيْنَ طُنُبَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحَدٌ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرْ رَبِّكَ»  

(A man broke his fast intentionally) during Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to emancipate a slave, or fast for two months, or feed sixty poor men. He said: I cannot provide. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Sit down. Thereafter a huge basket of dates ('araq) was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Take this and give it as sadaqah (alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer than I. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thereupon laughed so that his canine teeth became visible and said: Eat it yourself. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Juraij narrated it from al-Zuhri in the wordings of the narrator Malik that a man broke his fast. This version says: You should either free a slave, or fast for two months, or provide food for sixty poor men. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2392)   

أَنْ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فِي زَمَانِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ «خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كُلْهِ»  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you?" He said, "I had sexual relation with my wife (while I was fasting) in Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got enough to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you feed sixty poor persons?" The man said, "No." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Sit down," and he sat down. Afterwards an 'Irq, i.e., a big basket containing dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Take this and give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than we?" On that, the Prophet ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then told him, "Feed your family with it." (See Hadith No. 157, Vol 3) (Using translation from Bukhārī 6709)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «مَا شَأْنُكَ؟» قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟» فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ «خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجَ مِنَّا؟ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ»  

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have perished." He asked, "What is the matter?" The man replied, "I accidentally had relations with my wife during the day in Ramadan." The Prophet replied, "Free a slave." The man said, "I cannot find one." The Prophet then said, "Fast for two consecutive months." The man said, "I am not able to do that." The Prophet then said, "Feed sixty poor people." The man said, "I cannot find that either." Then, a container of dates was brought to the Prophet, containing fifteen wasqs (a measure of capacity). The Prophet said, "Take it and give it in charity." The man said, "Should I give it to someone poorer than my family? By Allah, there is no family in Medina poorer than mine." The Prophet laughed until his molars were visible and 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 فَقَالَ خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَأَطْعِمْ أَهْلَكَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am undone. He asked him: What has happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide food for sixty poor people ? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a huge basket containing dates ('araq) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He then said to him: Give it as sadaqah (i.e. alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer family than mine between the two lave plains of it (Medina). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his eye-teeth became visible, and said: Give it to your family to eat. Musaddad said in another place: "his canine teeth".

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدْ مَا تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا فَمَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا بَيْتٌ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ 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.

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have been destroyed." He said, "What happened to you?" He replied, "I fell upon my family on a day in the month of Ramadan." He said, "Free a slave."
