While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have been ruined." Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked what was the matter with him. He replied "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting." Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ . He asked, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Take this (basket of dates) and give it in charity." The man said, "Should I give it to a person poorer than I? By Allah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains who are poorer than I." The Prophet ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it."

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ مَا لَكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً تُعْتِقُهَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ إِطْعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَمَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهَا تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ فَقَالَ أَنَا قَالَ خُذْهَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا يُرِيدُ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ

Salman bin Sakhr Al-Ansari - from Banu Bayadah - said that his wife was like the back of his mother to him until Ramadan passed. After half of Ramadan had passed he had intercourse with his wife during the night. So he went to the Messenger of Allah to mention that to him. The Messenger of Allah said to him: "Free a slave." He said: "I don't have one." So he said: "Then fast two consecutive months." He said: "I am unable." He said: "Feed sixty needy people." He said: "I can not." So the Messenger of Allah said to Farwah bin Amr: "Give him that Araq - and it is a large basket that holds fifteen or sixteen Sa - to feed sixty needy people."

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ بْنَ صَخْرٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ أَحَدَ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى نِصْفٌ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا لَيْلاً فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُهَا قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِفَرْوَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَعْطِهِ ذَلِكَ الْعَرَقَ وَهُوَ مِكْتَلٌ يَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَوْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا

[AI] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came and began pulling his hair and cursing himself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is the matter with you?" He replied, "I had a sexual encounter with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Free a slave." He replied, "I cannot find one." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Observing two consecutive months of fasting." He replied, "I am unable to do so." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Feed sixty poor people." He replied, "I cannot find them." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with a container containing fifteen sā' of dates. He said, "Take this and feed sixty poor people on your behalf." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are people in my town who are more in need than us." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You and your family are from them."

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَنْتِفُ شَعَرَهُ وَيَدْعُو وَيْلَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَأَطْعِمْهُ عَنْكَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ كُلْهُ أَنْتَ وَعِيَالُكَ

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am undone. He asked him: What has happened to you ? He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting). He asked: Can you set a slave free ? He said: No. He again asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months ? He said: No. He asked: Can you provide food for sixty poor people ? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a huge basket containing dates ('araq) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He then said to him: Give it as sadaqah (i.e. alms). He said: Messenger of Allah, there is no poorer family than mine between the two lave plains of it (Medina). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so that his eye-teeth became visible, and said: Give it to your family to eat. Musaddad said in another place: "his canine teeth". (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2390)

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرْقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا؟ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَتَبَسَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ

[AI] A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined!" The Prophet asked, "What happened?" The man replied, "I had an incident with my family in Ramadan." The Prophet asked, "Do you have a slave to free?" The man answered, "No." The Prophet asked, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" The man replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet asked, "Can you feed sixty poor people?" The man replied, "I cannot find that, O Messenger of Allah." Then, the Prophet was given a fresh date branch and he said, "Go and give this in charity." The man asked, "Is there anyone poorer than me, O Messenger of Allah? By the one who sent you with the truth, among those who live in our neighborhood, there are people who are more in need of it than us." The Messenger of Allah laughed and then said, "Go and give it to your family."

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ وَاقَعْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَفَتُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرْقٍ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَذا فَقَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍأَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ

[AI] 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."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلَكَتُ فَقَالَ «وَمَا شَأْنُكَ»؟ قَالَ وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ بِهِ رَقَبَةً»؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «اجْلِسْ» فَأُتِيَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَهُوَ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ «خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ «خُذْهُ وَأَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ»

[AI] "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have been ruined!' He asked, 'What happened?' The man said, 'I accidentally slept with my wife during a day in the month of Ramadan.' The Prophet said, 'Free a slave.' The man replied, 'I cannot afford it.' The Prophet said, 'Then fast for two consecutive months.' The man said, 'I am unable to do that.' The Prophet said, 'Then feed sixty poor people.' The man said, 'I cannot find that many.' The Prophet then brought a basket filled with fifteen saa' worth of dates and said, 'Then give this in charity.' The man replied, 'I swear, the poorest person in my family is more in need of it than my family.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled until his teeth were visible and said, 'Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah, and feed your family with it.'"

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتُ قَالَ «وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالَ وَقَعَتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قَالَ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ «فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ» قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ «خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرِ اللَّهَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ»

عَن النَّبِيّ ﷺ واللفظُ لفظ مَعْمَر أَنَّ رَجُلا أَتَى النَّبِيّ ﷺ فقال يا رَسولَ اللهِ إنه أصاب أهله في رمضان نهارًا فقال أعتق رقبة قال ليس عندي قال صم شهرين متتابعين قال لا أستطيع قال فأطعم ستين مسكينًا قال لا أجد قال فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بعرق فيه تمر فقال أين الرجل الذي قال ما قال آنفًا خذ هذا فتصدق به قال والذي بعثك بالحق ما بين لابيتها أهل بيت أحوج إليه منا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُول اللَّهِ ﷺ حتى رأينا نواجذه ثُمَّ قال خذها فكلها وأنفقها على عيالك

[AI] "He made his wife swear that she will fast until the end of Ramadan. She gained weight and sat on a raised platform. During the middle of Ramadan, he fell on her. The Prophet came to him as if he admired that and said to him, 'Can you free a slave?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Can you fast for two consecutive months?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Can you feed sixty poor people?' He said, 'No.' So the Prophet said, 'O Thawban bin 'Amr, give him that difference.' He had a heap of dates and took fifteen sa' from it. So he should give it to sixty poor people.' He said, 'Is there anyone more destitute than me?' By the One Who has sent you with the truth, there are people who have a house but are more in need of it than us.' So the Messenger of Allah laughed and said, 'Take it to your family.'"

أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَسَمِنَتْ وَتَرَبَّعَتْ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَأَنَّهُ يُعَظِّمُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنَّ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنَّ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟» قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا فَرْوَةُ بْنَ عَمْرٍو أَعْطِهِ ذَلِكَ الْفَرَقَ وَهُوَ مِكْتَلٌ يَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَلْيُعْطِهِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ أَعْلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي؟ فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَيَتْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ»

[AI] And he (referring to someone) came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him, so he (the Messenger of Allah) said to him, "Free a slave." He said, "I don't have the means to do so." He (the Messenger of Allah) said, "Can you fast for two consecutive months?" He said, "No." He (the Messenger of Allah) said, "Then feed sixty poor people." He said, "I can't find that." So he (the Messenger of Allah) said to Furwah bin Amr, who used to dry dates under the supervision of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "Give him that bag." It contained fifteen sa' of dates. He (the Messenger of Allah) said, "Go and feed sixty poor people."

وَأَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَقَالَ لِفَرْوَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ يَخْرُصُ النَّخْلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «أَعْطِهِ ذَلِكَ الزِّنْبِيلَ» فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا»

[AI] Salman bin Sakhr al-Bayadi made a vow to his wife that he would not approach her until Ramadan was over. When half of Ramadan passed, she gained weight and became attractive to him. So, he covered her at night, and then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about this. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Free a slave." Salman replied that he couldn't afford it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fast for two consecutive months." Salman said that he was unable to do so. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Feed sixty poor people." Salman replied that he couldn't find that many. Then, someone brought the Prophet ﷺ a container containing fifteen or sixteen saa' of dates and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Take it and give it in charity to sixty poor people."

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ بْنَ صَخْرٍ الْبَيَاضِيَّ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ إِنْ غَشِيَهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى النِّصْفُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ سَمُنَتْ وَتَرَبَّعَتْ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُُ فَغَشَاهَا لَيْلًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ» قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا» قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِفَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ «خُذْهَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا»

[AI] It is narrated that Salamah ibn Sakhr al-Bayadi made a condition with his wife that she would be like his mother's back to him, meaning he would not approach her intimately, until Ramadan passed. When half of Ramadan had passed, his wife gained weight and became beautiful to him, so he approached her intimately one night. Afterwards, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned what had happened to him. The Prophet advised him to set a slave free, but Salamah replied that he did not have one. The Prophet then advised him to fast for two consecutive months, but Salamah said he was unable to. The Prophet then advised him to feed sixty poor people, but Salamah said he could not find that many. Finally, the Prophet brought a container filled with dates, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen saa' (a type of measurement), and told him to give it as charity to sixty poor people.
