Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined; I deliberately broke my fast in the month of Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Free a slave. He said: I do not have the means. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fast two consecutive months. He said: I am not able to. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Feed sixty needy people.
Al-Bazzar recorded it. Its chain contains al-Waqidi; he has been heavily criticised, though he has been declared trustworthy.
