"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جالسٌ عِنْدَ رسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَه رجلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: هلكْتُ، قَالَ: ويحَكَ وَما شأنُكَ؟ قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أهْلى فِي رَمَضَانَ قال: أَعْتِقْ رقبةً، قال: لا أجدُ، قَالَ: فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتابِعَين، قَالَ: لا أُطيقُه، قَالَ فاطعْم سِّتَين مِسْكَينًا، وَذَكَرَ الحِديثَ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي آخِره مَا بْينِ (ظَهْري المدينة) ظهْراني المدينة أحوجُ إِلَيْه مِنِّي قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أنْيَابُه، ثُمَّ قَالَ: خذْه واسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّكَ".

bukhari:5368Aḥmad b. Yūnus > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd > Ibn Shihāb > Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Hurayrah

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then fast for two successive months." He said, "I cannot." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." He said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Where is the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)." He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I give it to poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two mountains poorer than us." The Prophet ﷺ smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Then) feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have nothing (to feed them with)." Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity." The man said, "(Shall I give this in charity) to a poorer person than l?

[Machine] "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.'"

[Machine] A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost everything!" He asked: "And what is that?" The man said: "It fell upon my wife on a day in the month of Ramadan." He said: "Free a slave." The man said: "I do not have one." The Prophet said: "Then fast for two consecutive months." The man said: "I am not capable of doing so." He said: "Then feed sixty poor people." The man said: "I cannot find them." So, the Prophet ﷺ was brought a basket of dates and he said: "Take this and give it in charity." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is on someone other than my family." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his teeth were visible, and then he said: "Take it and seek forgiveness from your Lord."

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have perished." He asked, "What is the matter?" The man replied, "I accidentally had relations with my wife during the day in Ramadan." The Prophet replied, "Free a slave." The man said, "I cannot find one." The Prophet then said, "Fast for two consecutive months." The man said, "I am not able to do that." The Prophet then said, "Feed sixty poor people." The man said, "I cannot find that either." Then, a container of dates was brought to the Prophet, containing fifteen wasqs (a measure of capacity). The Prophet said, "Take it and give it in charity." The man said, "Should I give it to someone poorer than my family? By Allah, there is no family in Medina poorer than mine." The Prophet laughed until his molars were visible and said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah, and feed your family with it." And so on.
