عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ يَلْطِمُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَنْتِفُ شَعْرَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: مَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا قَدْ هَلَكْتُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟))، قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: ((أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟))، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: ((أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟))، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: ((أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟))، قَالَ: لَا، وَذَكَرَ الْحَاجَةَ، قَالَ: فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِزِنْبِيلٍ، وَهُوَ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَحْسَبُهُ تَمْرًا، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ؟))، قَالَ: ((أَطْعِمْ هَذَا))، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ، قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ، قَالَ: ((أَطْعِمْ أَهْلَكَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) striking his face with his hands and pulling his hair, and said: "I think I am ruined." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What has ruined you?" He replied: "I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan while fasting." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Can you afford to free a slave (male or female)?" 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," and then he also mentioned his poverty and destitution. Meanwhile, a basket containing fifteen saa’ of dates was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is that man?" Then he said: "Take these dates and feed (the needy) with them." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah! There is no household between the two Harrahs (the two stony tracts of Madinah) more in need than mine." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his molar teeth became visible, and then he said: "Then feed your family with it."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The reason for the smile of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was that when this man came to him, he considered himself to be destroyed, came striking his face and pulling his hair, fearing for himself, and wanted to make amends for this sin in any way possible. But when he saw the concession in the matter, he became eager to consume for himself the wealth that was given as expiation.
