6087. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “I have been ruined for I had sexual relation with my wife in Ramaḍān (while I was observing fasting)”. The Prophet ﷺ (in expiation) said (to him), “Manumit a slave.” The man said, “I cannot afford that.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “(Then) observe Ṣaum (fast) for two successive months (continuously).” The man said, “I cannot do that.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “(Then) feed sixty Masākīn (poor persons).” The man said, “I have nothing (to feed them with).” Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Where is the questioner? Give and give this in charity.” The man said, “(Shall I give this in charity) to a poorer person than I? By Allāh, there is no family in between these two mountains (of Al-Madīna) who are poorer than we.” The Prophet ﷺ then smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, “Then (feed) your (family with it).” [See Vol. 3, Aḥādīth Nos. 1936, 1937]
