Salama bin Sakhr reported,

I was a man who indulged greatly with women, and I never saw any other man able to do what I did. When Ramadan entered, I declared the zihar oath against my wife until Ramadan should end. While she was speaking with me one night, something was uncovered of her, so I sprang upon her and had relations with her.When morning came, I went out to my people and told them what had happened, and I said to them, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about my case for me."They said, "We will not do that. Allah would then reveal something about us in His Book, or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say something concerning us, and the disgrace of it would remain upon us. But we will hand you over to your own offense. Go yourself and mention your situation to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."So I set out until I came to him and told him what had happened.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did you really do that?"I said, "I did that, and here I am, Messenger of Allah, patient with whatever ruling Allah will impose upon me."He said, "Free a slave."I said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not own anything this morning except this neck of mine."He said, "Then fast two consecutive months."I said, "Messenger of Allah, did this calamity befall me except through fasting?"He said, "Then give charity, or feed sixty poor people."I said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, we have spent this very night without any dinner."He said, "Then go to the collector of charity for Banu Zurayq and tell him to hand it over to you, and feed sixty poor people, and benefit yourself with what remains of it."

عن سلمة بن صخر البياضي قال

كنت امرأ أستكثر من النساء لا أرى رجلا كان يصيب من ذلك ما أصيب فلما دخل رمضان ظاهرت من امرأتي حتى ينسلخ رمضان فبينما هي تحدثني ذات ليلة انكشف لي منها شيء فوثبت عليها فواقعتها فلما أصبحت غدوت على قومي فأخبرتهم خبري وقلت لهم سلوا لي رسول الله ﷺ فقالوا ما كنا نفعل إذا ينزل الله عز وجل فينا كتابا أو يكون فينا من رسول الله ﷺ قول فيبقى علينا عاره ولكن سوف نسلمك لجريرتك اذهب أنت فاذكر شأنك لرسول الله ﷺ قال فخرجت حتى جئته فأخبرته الخبر فقال رسول الله ﷺ أنت بذاك فقلت أنا بذاك وها أنا يا رسول الله صابر لحكم الله علي قال فأعتق رقبة قال قلت والذي بعثك بالحق ما أصبحت أملك إلا رقبتي هذه قال فصم شهرين متتابعين قال قلت يا رسول الله وهل دخل علي ما دخل من البلاء إلا بالصوم قال فتصدق أو أطعم ستين مسكينا قال قلت والذي بعثك بالحق لقد بتنا ليلتنا هذه ما لنا عشاء قال فاذهب إلى صاحب صدقة بني زريق فقل له فليدفعها إليك وأطعم ستين مسكينا وانتفع ببقيتها
