Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Adab - 23rd Safar 1422 (18 May 2001) Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho): A man came to the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and said, "I have been ruined for I have had sexual relation with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting)." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said (to him), "Manumit a slave." The man said, " I cannot afford that." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "(Then) fast for two successive months continuously." The man said, "I cannot do that." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "(Then) feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have nothing (to feed them with)." Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet said, "Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity." The man said, "(Shall I give this in charity) to a poorer person than I? By Allah, there is no family in between these two mountains (of Medina) who are poorer than we." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) then smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Then (feed) your (family with it)."
