(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)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعِرْقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ «خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجُ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كُلْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ
