Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I am ruined.” The Prophet asked, “What do you mean?” He
said, “I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting).” The Prophet asked
him, “Can you manumit a slave?” He replied in the negative. He then asked him, “Can you fast for two
successive months continuously” He replied in the negative. The Prophet then asked him, “Can you
feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came with a basket
full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, “Take it and give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin).”
The man said “Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah’s Apostle? By Him
Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina’s two mountains poorer than
we.” Allah’s Apostle told him to take it and provide his family with it.”
