It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the shade of the fortress of Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man came and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am ruined. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What is the matter? He said: I have committed intercourse with my wife while fasting in the month of Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sit down. He sat down to one side among the people. Meanwhile, a man came, carrying a sack of dates on his donkey, and said: O Messenger of Allah! This is charity from me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Where is the one who was burning, the one who was just speaking? He himself replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! That is me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take this and give it as charity. He said: O Messenger of Allah! To whom shall I give charity except to myself and my family? By the One Who sent you with the truth! There is nothing with me or my family. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then take it. So he took it and went away.
