Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I have broken a fast of Ramadan." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Without any excuse and without travel?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What you did is very bad." He said: "You are right. So what do you command me to do?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free a slave." He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, I have never owned a slave." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast for two consecutive months." He said: "I am not able to do that." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then feed sixty poor people." He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, I cannot even fill the stomachs of my own family." The narrator said: Then a basket of dates was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give this in charity to sixty poor people." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, to whom should I give it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "To the one you know to be the most needy." He said: "There is no household more needy than us." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then take it back to your own family (that is, feed it to them)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Habib except Harun, and al-Sabbah bin Muharib is alone in narrating it."
