Volume 8, Book 79, Number 702:
Narrated Abu Huraira :
A man came to the Prophets and said, “I am ruined!” The Prophet said, “What is the matter with
you?” He said, “I have done a sexual relation with my wife (while fasting) in Ramadan” The Prophet
said to him, “Can you afford to manumit a slave?” He said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Can you fast for
two successive months?” He said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Can you feed sixty poor persons?” He said,
“I have nothing.” Later on an Irq (big basket) containing dates was given to the Prophet, and the
Prophet said (to him), “Take this basket and give it in charity.” The man said, “To poorer people than
we? Indeed, there is nobody between its (i.e., Medina’s) two mountains who is poorer than we.” The
Prophet then said, “Take it and feed your family with it.”
