Bayhaqi 15284 — It does not suffice to feed fewer than sixty poor

فَرُوِيَ كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، نا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ، عَنْ خُوَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَالِكِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَتْ: ظَاهَرَ مِنِّي زَوْجِي أَوْسُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُجَادِلُنِي فِيهِ وَيَقُولُ: " اتَّقِي اللهَ فَإِنَّهُ زَوْجُكِ وَابْنُ عَمِّكِ " فَمَا بَرِحْتُ حَتَّى نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ {قَدْ ⦗٦٤٣⦘ سَمِعَ اللهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا} [المجادلة: ١] قَالَ: " يُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً " قَالَتْ: لَا يَجِدُ قَالَ: " فَيَصُومُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ " قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ مَا بِهِ مِنْ صِيَامٍ قَالَ: " فَلْيُطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا " قُلْتُ: مَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ، قَالَ: " فَإِنِّي سَأُعِينُهُ بِعَرَقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ " قَالْتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنِّي أُعِينُهُ بِعَرَقٍ آخَرَ قَالَ: " قَدْ أَحْسَنْتِ اذْهَبِي فَأَطْعِمِي بِهَا عَنْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَارْجِعِي إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكِ " قَالَ: وَالْعَرَقُ سِتُّونَ صَاعًا.
Sayyidah Khuwaylah bint Malik bin Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: My husband Aws bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) made zihar from me, so I complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) argued with me and said: "Fear Allah, for he is your husband and your cousin (your paternal uncle's son)." I was still in that state when the Qur'an was revealed: "Allah has indeed heard the statement of the woman who was arguing with you about her husband" [Surah al-Mujadilah: 1].
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let him free a slave." Khuwaylah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He does not have one. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let him fast two consecutive months." Khuwaylah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He is an old man; he does not have the strength to fast. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let him feed sixty poor people." She said: He has nothing to give in charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will help him with an 'araq (a basket of dates)." I said: I will provide the second basket. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have done well. Go and feed sixty poor people with it, and go back to your husband." The narrator says: The 'araq was a basket of sixty sa'.
