Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10048 — One who has intercourse with his wife

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I am ruined." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What has ruined you?" He said: "I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free a slave." He said: "I do not have a slave." He said: "Then fast for two months." He said: "I do not have the strength for that." He said: "Then feed sixty poor people." He said: "I do not have the means for that either." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Sit down." So he sat down. Meanwhile, a basket of dates was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him). He said to him: "Take this and give it in charity." The man said: "By the One who sent you with the truth! Between the two lava fields of Madinah there is no household more needy than mine." Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled so broadly that his blessed teeth became visible. Then he said: "Go and feed it to your family."
