Allah’s Apostle set out for Mecca in Ramadan and he fasted, and when he reached Al-Kadid, he

A man came to the Prophet and said that he had been burnt (ruined). The Prophet asked him what
was the matter. He replied, “I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting).”
Then a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet and he asked, “Where is the burnt (ruined)
man?” He replied, “I am present.” The Prophet told him to give that basket in charity (as expiation).

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 31: FASTING
While we were sitting with the Prophet a man came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have been
ruined.” Allah’s Apostle asked what was the matter with him. He replied “I had sexual intercourse
with my wife while I was fasting.” Allah’s Apostle asked him, “Can you afford to manumit a slave?”
He replied in the negative. Allah’s Apostle asked him, “Can you fast for two successive months?” He
replied in the negative. The Prophet asked him, “Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?” He
replied in the negative. The Prophet kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of
dates was brought to the Prophet . He asked, “Where is the questioner?” He replied, “I (am here).” The
Prophet said (to him), “Take this (basket of dates) and give it in charity.” The man said, “Should I give
it to a person poorer than I? By Allah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina’s) two mountains
who are poorer than I.” The Prophet smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible and then said,
‘Feed your family with it.”

asked him, “Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. (Abu Huraira ad –
ded): Then a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet and he said (to that man), “Feed (poor
people) with this by way of atonement.” He said, “(Should I feed it) to poorer people than we? There is
no poorer house than ours between its (Medina’s) mountains.” The Prophet said, “Then feed your
family with it.”

Narrated Abu Bakr bin ‘Abdur-Rahman:
Volume 3 – 439 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 31: FASTING
My father and I went to ‘Aisha and she said, “I testify that Allah’s Apostle at times used to get up in
the morning in a state of Janaba from sexual intercourse, not from a wet dream and then he would
fast that day.” Then he went to Um Salama and she also narrated a similar thing.
Volume 3, Book 31, Number 154:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete his fast, for what
he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by Allah.” Narrated ‘Amir bin Rabi’a, “I saw the Prophet
cleaning his teeth with Siwak while he was fasting so many times as I can’t count.” And narrated Abu
Huraira, “The Prophet said, ‘But for my fear that it would be hard for my followers, I would have
ordered them to clean their teeth with Siwak on every performance of ablution.” The same is nar –
rated by Jabir and Zaid bin Khalid from the Prophet who did not differentiate between a fasting and
a nonfasting person in this respect (using Siwak).
Aisha said, “The Prophet said, “It (i.e. Siwak) is a purification for the mouth and it is a way of seek –
ing Allah’s pleasures.” Ata’ and Qatada said, “There is no harm in swallowing the resultant saliva.”
