A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and claimed that he was doomed because he slept with his wife while fasting in Ramadan.

– The Prophet asked “Can you fast two consecutive months?“

– The main said “No.”

– “The Prophet asked “Can you feed sixty poor people?”

– The man replied “No.”

The Prophet stayed quiet. After a short while, a basket of dates was presented to him. The Prophet took the dates, and looked for that man.

The Prophet said “Take these dates and give them in charity.“

The man said dejectedly, “No one is poorer than me, Messenger of Allah. By Allah, there is no family in all of Madinah poorer than mine.”

At this, the Prophet’s face broke into a smile.

“Take it and feed your family,” The Prophet said. (Al-Bukhari)
