Hadith #6710
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ. فَقَالَ " وَمَا ذَاكَ ". قَالَ وَقَعْتُ بِأَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ. قَالَ " تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً ". قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ " هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ ". قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ " فَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ". قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ بِعَرَقٍ ـ وَالْعَرَقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ ـ فَقَالَ " اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا، فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ ". قَالَ عَلَى أَحْوَجَ مِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا. ثُمَّ قَالَ " اذْهَبْ، فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ ".
A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "What is the
matter?" He said, "I have done a sexual relation with my wife (while fasting) in Ramadan." The
Prophet said to him?" "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can
you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can you feed sixty poor
persons?" He said, "No." Then an Ansari man came with an Irq (a big basket full of dates). The
Prophet said (to the man), "Take this (basket) and give it in charity." That man said, "To poorer people
than we, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? By Him Who has sent you with the Truth! There is no house in between
the two mountains (of the city of Medina) poorer than we." So the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go and feed
it to your family."
