\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nA man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife on Ramadan (while \nfasting)." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. \nThe Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. He \nasked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. (Abu Huraira \nadded): Then a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said (to that man), "Feed (poor \npeople) with this by way of atonement." He said, "(Should I feed it) to poorer people than we? There \nis no poorer house than ours between its (Medina's) mountains." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then feed your \nfamily with it."\n
