Translation

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Ibrahim ibn Saʿd narrated to us: Ibn Shihab narrated to us, from Humayd ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman, from Abu Hurayrah, may God be pleased with him, who said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, “I am ruined.” He asked, “Why?” The man said, “I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan.” He said, “Free a slave.” The man said, “I do not have one.” He said, “Then fast for two consecutive months.” The man said, “I cannot.” He said, “Then feed sixty poor people.” The man said, “I cannot find the means.” A basket containing dates was brought to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He said, “Where is the questioner?” The man said, “Here I am.” He said, “Give this in charity.” The man said, “To someone poorer than us, Messenger of God? By the One who sent you with the truth, there is no household between its two lava fields poorer than ours.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, laughed until his molars showed, then said, “Then it is for you.”
