Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramadân [while observing Saum (fasting)]." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked him, "Can you observe Saum for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. He asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative.(Abû Huraira رضي الله عنه added): Then a basket-full of dates was brought to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said (to that man), "Feed (poor people) with this on your behalf (by way of atonement)." He said, "(Should I feed it) to poorer people than we? There is no poorer house than ours between its (Al-Madîna's) mountains." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Then feed your family with it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 158, Vol. 3 )
