While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) a man came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have been ruined."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked what was the matter with him. He replied "I had sexual intercourse with my
wife while I was fasting." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied
in the negative. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in
the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the
negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was
brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) . He asked, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet (ﷺ)
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 (ﷺ) smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and then said, 'Feed your
family with it."
