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.''  

مالك:١٨-٣١ – وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَضْرِبُ نَحْرَهُ وَيَنْتِفُ شَعْرَهُ وَيَقُولُ هَلَكَ الأَبْعَدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَاكَ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً فَقَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُهْدِيَ بَدَنَةً قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَاجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي فَقَالَ كُلْهُ وَصُمْ يَوْمًا مَكَانَ مَا أَصَبْتَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ كَمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَرَقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا إِلَى عِشْرِينَ

[Machine] An Arab man came, slapping his face and tearing out his hair, and said, "I see nothing but destruction for myself." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What has caused your destruction?" He replied, "I have harmed my family during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to free a slave?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are you able to feed sixty poor people?" He replied, "No." Then, the need was mentioned and the Prophet ﷺ was brought a sack containing fifteen measures of dates. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is the man?" The man replied, "Feed this to my family." The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no one between the two sides of the garment who is more in need of this than you." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molar teeth could be seen and said, "Feed it to your family."

[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).'"
