A man came to him and said, "Messenger of Allah, I am ruined."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What has ruined you?"He replied, "I had relations with my wife during Ramadan."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you able to free a Raqaba?"He said, "No."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?"He said, "No."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you able to feed sixty poor people?"He said, "No."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sit down."So he sat. Then a large basket of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ (the araq is a large basket).The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give this away in charity."The man said, "There is no one between the two lava plains of Madinah poorer than us."The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his eye-teeth showed, then said, "Take it and feed it to your family."
حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي وأبو عمار والمعنى واحد واللفظ لفظ أبي عمار قالا أخبرنا سفيان بن عيينة عن الزهري عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن
أتاه رجل فقال يا رسول الله هلكت قال وما أهلكك قال وقعت على امرأتي في رمضان قال هل تستطيع أن تعتق رقبة قال لا قال فهل تستطيع أن تصوم شهرين متتابعين قال لا قال فهل تستطيع أن تطعم ستين مسكينا قال لا قال اجلس فجلس فأتي النبي ﷺ بعرق فيه تمر والعرق المكتل الضخم قال تصدق به فقال ما بين لابتيها أحد أفقر منا قال فضحك النبي ﷺ حتى بدت أنيابه قال فخذه فأطعمه أهلك
