Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: “I have been ruined, O Messenger of Allah!”
ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ: هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،

He ﷺ asked: “And what ruined you?”
قَالَ: وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟

The man replied: “I have had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramaḍān (ie: while fasting).”
قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ،

He ﷺ asked him: “Do you have something to buy a slave his freedom.”
قَالَ: هَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تَعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً؟

The man replied: “No.”
قَالَ: لَا،

So he ﷺ asked: “Are you able to fast for two months continuously.”
قَالَ: فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟

The man replied: “No.”
قَالَ: لَا،

He ﷺ asked him: “Are you able to feed sixty masakīn (ie: needy people)?”
قَالَ: فَهَلْ تَجِدُ مَا تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟

He replied: “No.”
قَالَ لَا

Then the man sat down.
ثُمَّ جَلَسَ،

Meanwhile, a basket full of dates was presented to the Prophet ﷺ.
فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ،

So he ﷺ asked him: “Are you able to give these (dates) away as ṣadaqah?”
فَقَالَ: تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا؟

The man replied: “Who would need these more than me! There is no house between these two barren plains of Madīnah needier of these dates than mine.”
فَقَالَ: أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا فَمَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إلَيْهِ مِنَّا

The Prophet ﷺ smiled such that his teeth could be seen.
فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ،

Then he ﷺ said to him: “Go and feed your family with these.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ».
