It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting in the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came, pulling his hair and wailing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "What has happened to you?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in the month of Ramadan." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have a slave." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I do not have the strength for that." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then feed sixty needy people." He said, "I do not have that much." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Sit down." Meanwhile, a large basket was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere, in which there were fifteen saa’ of dates. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take this and feed sixty needy people on your behalf." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! From this corner of Madinah to that corner, there is no household more in need than ours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, "Go, you and your family eat it."
