[Machine] 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  

[Machine] "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»  

[Machine] 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»  

[Machine] 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»  

[Machine] 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.  

أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الْبَيَاضِيِّ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ إِنْ غَشِيَهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى النِّصْفُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ سَمُنَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَتَرَبَّعَتْ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَغَشِيَهَا لَيْلًا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَقَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَوْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَكَذَلِكَ  

"عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْن صَخْرٍ الأَنْصَارِىِّ: أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ امْرَأتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّه حَتَّى يَمْضِىَ رَمَضَانُ، فَسَمِنَتْ وَتَرَبَّعَتْ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فِى النِّصْفِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ كَأنَّهُ يُعَظِّمُ ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟ فَقَالَ: لاَ، قَالَ: أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، قَالَ: أَفَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ: لاَ، فَقالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَا فَرْوَةُ بْنَ عمرو! أَعْطِهِ ذَلِكَ الْعَذْقَ (*) - وَهُوَ مَكِيلٌ يَأخُذُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَوْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا، فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا، فَقَالَ: أَعَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّى؟ فَوَالَّذى بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ، مَا بَينَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ".
