رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 1937. Narrated Abū Hurairah: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramaḍān [while observing Ṣaum (fasting)]." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Can you observe Ṣaum (fast) for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. He asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. (Abū Hurairah added): Then a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he said (to that man), "Feed (poor people) with this on your behalf (by way of expiation).” He said, “(Should I feed it) to poorer people than we? There is no poorer house than ours between its (Al-Madīna’s) mountains.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Then feed your family with it.”
