6710. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you?" He said, "I had sexual relation with my wife (while 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 Ṣaum (fast) for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. 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 we! O Allāh's Messenger? By Him who has sent you with the Truth! Indeed, there is no house in between the two mountains (of the city of Al-Madīna) poorer than us." So the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Go and feed it to your family."
