حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلَكْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَجِدُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أُطِيقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَجِدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اجْلِسْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَلَسَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِمِكْتَلٍ يُدْعَى الْعَرَقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَانْطَلِقْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ .

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘I am doomed.’ He said: ‘Why are you doomed?’ He said: ‘I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Free a slave.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He said: ‘Fast for two consecutive months.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He said: ‘Feed sixty poor persons.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He said: ‘Sit down.’ So he sat down, and while doing so a basketful of dates was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Go and give this in charity.’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, by the One Who sent you with the truth, there is no household between its two lava fields (i.e., in Al-Madinah) that is more in need of it than us.’ He said: ‘Then go and feed your family.’”
