English translation

2390. It was reported from Sufyān (Ibn ‘Uyaynah), from Az-Zuhri, from Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurairah, who said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I am ruined.' He said: 'What is the matter with you?' He said: 'I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramaḍān (in daytime while fasting).' He said: 'Do you have the means of freeing 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.' He said: 'Sit down.' A bushel (ʾArak) of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. Then he said: 'Give this in charity.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! There is nobody between the two lava fields of it (Al-Maḍīnah) poorer than my family.'" He said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ laughed till his eye-teeth were visible, and he said: 'Feed it to your family.'" (One of the narrators) Musad-dad, said, in another place: "His pre-molar teeth." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2390 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، الْمَعْنَى قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: هَلَكْتُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ؟»، قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: «فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «اجْلِسْ»، فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ، فَقَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ ثَنَايَاهُ، قَالَ: «فَأَطْعِمْهُ إِيَّاهُمْ»، وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ أَنْيَابُهُ،
