Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)". The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)". He replied, "I cannot afford that". The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then fast for two successive months". He said, "I cannot". The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons". He said, "I have nothing to do that". In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Where is the questioner". The man said, "I am here". The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)". He said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Shall I give it to poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two mountains poorer than us". The Prophet ﷺ smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it".
