6709. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is the matter with you?" He said, "I had sexual relation with my wife (while I was fasting) in Ramaḍān." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got enough to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you observe Ṣaum (fast) for two successive months?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" The man said, "No." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Sit down," and he sat down. Afterwards an Araq, i.e., a big basket, containing dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Take this (basket of dates) and give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than us?" On that, the Prophet ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then told him, "Feed your family with it." [See Vol. 3, Hadīth No. 1936]
