6711. 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 to him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you observe Saum (fast) for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons. He said, "I have nothing." Later on an 'Araq (big basket) containing dates was presented to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Take this basket and give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than us? Indeed, there is nobody between its (i.e., Al-Madīna's) two mountains who is poorer than we." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Take it and feed your family with it."
