A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was pulling out the hair of his head and beating his chest, saying: "The wretched one is ruined!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Ruined in what way?" He said: "I had intercourse with my wife today, and that was in Ramadan." He said: "Do you have a slave that you can free?" He said: "No." He said: "Are you able to fast two consecutive months?" He said: "No." He said: "Are you able to feed sixty poor people?" He said: "No." Then the man went away. Then a man from among the people came with a large basket containing the charity from his wealth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Where is the questioner?" They said: "He has gone away." He said: "Bring him to me." The man came to him, and he said: "Take this and give it in charity as an expiation for what you did." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, to one needier than me and my family? By the One in whose hand is my soul, there is no one between its two lava plains needier than me and my family." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars showed, and said: "Then eat, and feed your family, and make up a day in its place."
