Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ ال
لَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ قَالَ خُذْهَا

English Translation
Rawh narrated to us, Malik narrated to us—and Uthman ibn Umar said: Malik informed us—from Ibn Shihab, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), that a man broke his fast during Ramadan. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to free a slave, or fast two consecutive months, or feed sixty poor people. He said: 'I cannot.' A basket of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Take this and give it in charity.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no one between its two lava fields more in need of it than I.' the Prophet ﷺ laughed until his premolars showed and said: 'Then feed your family with it.'
