ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ السَّائِلِ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ: وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي، أَرَادَ بِهِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him that he had committed adultery with his wife during Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah asked him, "Can you find a slave to free?" The man replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah asked, "Can you feed sixty poor people?" The man replied, "I cannot find." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him dates and instructed him to give them in charity. The man then mentioned his need to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he instructed him to take the dates for himself.

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ » قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَمْرًا وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَاجَتَهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ هُوَ

A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramadan (while he was fasting), and he came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his verdict concerning that action. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons."  

البخاري:٦٨٢١حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا

Can you find a slave (to grant him freedom)? He said: No. He (the Prophet again) said: Can you afford to observe fasts for two (consecutive) months? He said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then feed sixty poor men.

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him that he had committed adultery with his wife during Ramadan. The Prophet asked him, "Do you have a slave to free (as expiation)?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet then asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man again replied, "No." The Prophet then said, "Feed sixty poor people." The man replied, "I cannot find that many." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him a date and instructed him to give it in charity. The man mentioned his need to the Prophet, who then ordered him to take the date for himself.
