Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am ruined. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What happened? He said: I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Can you free a slave? He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Can you fast for two consecutive months? He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Can you feed sixty needy people? He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sit down. Then a large basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take it and give it as charity. He said: Should I give it in charity to a household poorer than us? There is no household between the two black mountains of Madinah poorer than us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his molar teeth became visible and said: Take it and feed it to your family.
