It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I am ruined." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "What has ruined you?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in the month of Ramadan." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have a slave." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I do not have the strength for that." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Feed sixty needy people." He said, "I do not have that much." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Sit down." In the meantime, a large basket full of dates was brought to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take this and feed sixty needy people on your behalf." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! From this corner of Madinah to that corner, there is no household more needy than ours." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, "Go, you and your family eat it."
