Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu ‘anhu):
While we were sitting with the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) a man came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have been ruined.” Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked what was the matter with him. He replied “I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting.” Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked him, “Can you afford to manumit a slave?” He replied in the negative. Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked him, “Can you fast for two successive months?” He replied in the negative. The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked him, “Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam). He asked, “Where is the questioner?” He replied, “I (am here).” The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) 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 (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible and then said, ‘Feed your family with it.“
