حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ (١) بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، جَاءَ يَلْطِمُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَنْتِفُ شَعَرَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: مَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا قَدْ هَلَكْتُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ " قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ. قَالَ: " أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: " أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: " أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ " قَالَ: لَا. وَذَكَرَ الْحَاجَةَ، قَالَ: فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِزِنْبِيلٍ، وَهُوَ الْمِكْتَلُ، فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَحْسَبُهُ تَمْرًا، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ؟ " قَالَ: " أَطْعِمْ هَذَا " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَحَدٌ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ. قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ، قَالَ: " أَطْعِمْهُ (٢) أَهْلَكَ " (٣)،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I am ruined." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "What has ruined you?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in the month of Ramadan." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have a slave." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I do not have the strength for that." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Feed sixty needy people." He said, "I do not have that much." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Sit down." In the meantime, a large basket full of dates was brought to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) from somewhere. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Take this and feed sixty needy people on your behalf." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! From this corner of Madinah to that corner, there is no household more needy than ours." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Go, you and your family eat it."
