Hadith 1949
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَزِيزٍ الأَيْلِيُّ ، أَنَّ سَلامَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ , عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ جَامَعَ أَهْلَهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , هَلَكْتُ . قَالَ : " وَيْحَكَ ، مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ " قَالَ : وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ . قَالَ : " أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً " . قَالَ : مَا أَجِدُهَا . قَالَ : " صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ " . قَالَ : مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ . قَالَ : " أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا " . قَالَ : مَا أَجِدُهُ . قَالَ : فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ , فَقَالَ : " خُذْهُ وَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ " , قَالَ : مَا أَجِدُ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِي , يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مَا بَيْنَ طُنُبَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحَدًا أَحْوَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي . فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ . قَالَ : " خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that while I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have been ruined." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "May good come to you, what has happened to you?" He replied, "I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have the ability to free a slave." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I am not able to do that." The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered, "Feed sixty needy people." He said, "I do not have enough grain for that." Then a basket of dates was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), so he said, "Take this basket and give it as charity." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not find anyone more deserving of it than my own family. There is no one in the two sides of Madinah more in need of it than me." So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) laughed so much that his blessed canine teeth became visible. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah the Exalted."
