Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
While we were sitting with the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) a mancame and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have been ruined." Allah's Apostle(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked what was the matter with him. Hereplied "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting."Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked him, "Can you affordto manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. Allah's Apostle(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked him, "Can you fast for two successivemonths?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi WaSallam) asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He repliedin the negative. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) kept silent andwhile we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to theProphet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). He asked, "Where is thequestioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi WaSallam) said (to him), "Take this (basket of dates) and give it incharity." The man said, "Should I give it to a person poorer than I? ByAllah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains who arepoorer than I." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) smiled till hispre-molar teeth became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it."
