2392. It was reported from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb (Az-Zuhri), from Ĥumaid bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurairah, that a man broke his fast (intentionally) during Ramaḍān, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered him to emancipate a slave, or fast for two consecutive months, or feed sixty poor people. He said: “I am not able.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: “Sit down.” A bushel (‘Araq) of dates was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Then he said: “Take this and give it in charity.” He said: “O Messenger of Allāh! There is no one needier than I am.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ laughed till his pre-molar teeth were visible, and he said to him: “Eat it yourself.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwūd said: Ibn Juraij reported it from Az-Zuhri, with the wording of Mālik; that a man broke his fast, and he said in it: “or emancipate a slave, or fast for two months or feed sixty poor people.”
