Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am ruined. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What has happened?" He said: I had intercourse with my wife while I was fasting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have a slave whom you can free?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you able to fast two consecutive months?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have the means to feed sixty poor people?" He said: No. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) fell silent. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were still with him (peace and blessings be upon him) when a basket of dates was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Take this and give it in charity." He said: O Messenger of Allah! Who is more in need than me? By Allah, there is no one between these two mountains more in need than my family. The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled until his (peace and blessings be upon him) molar teeth became visible, and he said: "Go and feed it to your family."
