Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Adab - 7th Rabi-ath-Thani 1422 (30 June 2001) Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho): A man came to Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am ruined!" The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you)!" The man said, "I have done sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting in Ramadan." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Manumit a slave." The man said, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said; "Then fast for two successive months." The man said, "I have no power to do so." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have nothing (to feed sixty persons)." Later a basket full of dates were brought to the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and he said (to the man), "Take it and give it in charity." The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to people other than my family? By Him in Whose Hand my life is, there is nobody poorer than me in the whole city of Medina." The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Take it." Bukhari Vol. 8 : No. 185 Tell others about AHAD - A Hadith A Day!
