Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4975

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I did not fast one day of Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Without any excuse and without travel? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have done wrong. He said: Yes. What do you command me? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Free a slave. The man said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I have never owned a slave. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fast two consecutive months. He said: I am not able to do that either. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Feed sixty needy people. He said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I cannot even feed my own family to their fill. The narrator says: Then a container with dates in it was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give these in charity to sixty needy people. He asked: To whom should I give them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: To the neediest person you know. He said: By the One who sent you with the truth, in the whole city there is no household needier than ours. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then give it in charity to your own family.
Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
