A person came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque during (the month of) Ramadan and said: Messenger of Allah, I am burnt, I am burnt, whereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him as to what the matter was. Upon this he said: I had intercourse with my wife (in a state of fasting) Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Give charity. Upon this he said: Apostle of Allah, I swear by God, there is nothing with me (to give in charity) as I do not possess anything. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Sit down. So he sat down and he was in this very state when there came a person urging a donkey with a load of eatables upon it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Where is that burnt one who was just here? Thereupon the person stood up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give this (eatables brought by the man) in charity. Upon this the person said: Messenger of Allah, can there be anyone else (more deserving than I)? By Allah. we are hungry, we have nothing with us. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then eat (these eatables).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ أَتَى رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ احْتَرَقْتُ احْتَرَقْتُ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُهُ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا لِي شَىْءٌ وَمَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسَ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ حِمَارًا عَلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ الْمُحْتَرِقُ آنِفًا فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغَيْرَنَا فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَجِيَاعٌ مَا لَنَا شَىْءٌ قَالَ فَكُلُوهُ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ during Ramadan in the mosque. He said: Messenger of Allah, I am burnt. The Prophet ﷺ asked him what happened to him. He said: I had sexual intercourse with my wife. He said: Give sadaqah (alms). He said: I swear by Allah, I possess nothing with me, and I cannot do this. He said: Sit down. He sat down. While he was waiting, a man came forward driving his donkey loaded with food. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Where is the man who was burnt just now ? Thereupon the man stood up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it as sadaqah (alms). He asked: Messenger of Allah, to others than us ? By Allah. we are hungry, we have nothing (to eat). He said: Eat it yourselves.
