[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.

bukhari:6821 – Qutaybah > al-Layth > Ibn Shihāb > Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Hurayrah

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:٦٨٢١ – حَدَّثَنَا 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.  

مسلم:١١١١c – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

malik:18-30 – Yaḥyá > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAwf > Abū Hurayrah

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."  

مالك:١٨-٣٠ – حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

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  

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.
