( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَغَيْرُهُمَا، قَالُوا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أَنْبَأَ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ:
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامِ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ، فَقَالَ: " خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ "، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَجِدُ أَحْوَجَ مِنِّي، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ ثَنَايَاهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " كُلْهُ.

A man broke his fast in the month of Ramadan, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to free a slave, or to fast two months, or to feed sixty poor people. He said: "I cannot find (the means)." Then a basket of dates was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "Take this and give it in charity." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I do not find anyone needier than me." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his front teeth showed, then he said: "Eat it."
