\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n\n
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, \"O Allah's Apostle! I am ruined!\" The Prophet said, \n\"Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you) !\" The man said, \"I have done sexual intercourse with my \nwife while fasting in Ramadan.\" The Prophet said, \"Manumit a slave.\" The man said, \" I cannot afford \nthat. \" The Prophet said; \"Then fast for two successive months.\" The man said, \" I have no power to \ndo so.\" The Prophet said, \"Then feed sixty poor persons.\" The man said, \"I have nothing (to feed sixty \npersons). Later a basket full of dates were brought to the Prophet and he said (to the man), \"Take it \nand give it in charity.\" The man said, \"O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to people other than my \nfamily? By Him in Whose Hand my life is, there is nobody poorer than me in the whole city of \nMedina.\" The Prophet smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, \"Take it.\" Az-Zuhri said \n(that the Prophet said). \"Wailaka.\"","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
