حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ وَاقَعْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَفَلَا تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَا
لَ لَا أَجِدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرْقٍ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَا فَقَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf — that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I am ruined, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'What happened?' He said: 'I had relations with my wife during Ramadan [while fasting].' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Can you free a slave?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Can you fast two consecutive months?' He said: 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Then can you feed sixty poor people?' He said: 'I cannot find [the means], O Messenger of Allah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ was brought a large basket ['araq — the 'araq is a large container] containing dates. He said: 'Go and give this in charity.' The man said: 'To someone poorer than me?! By the One who sent you with the truth — there is no household between the two lava fields [of Madina] more in need of it than mine!' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed, then said: 'Go and take it to your family.'
