حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ تَسْتَطِيعُ تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا قَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرْقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَالْعَرْقُ الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَتَبَسَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'I am ruined!' He said: 'What has ruined you?' He said: 'I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting).' He said: 'Can you free a slave?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Can you fast two consecutive months?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Can you feed sixty poor people?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Sit down.' Then a large basket of dates was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said: 'Give this in charity.' The man said: 'To someone poorer than us? There is no family between the two lava fields (of Madinah) poorer than us.' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) laughed until his canines showed and said: 'Feed it to your family.'
