Hadith 30:3557

Rawh narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Abi Hafsah narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Hurayrah, that a Bedouin came slapping his face and pulling out his hair, saying: "I see myself as nothing but destroyed." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to him: "And what has destroyed you?" He said: "I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan." He said: "Are you able to free a slave?" 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." And he mentioned his need. He said: Then a basket—which is a container—was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, containing fifteen sa's, I believe of dates. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Where is the man?" He said: "Feed this." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, there is no one between the two lava plains [of Medina] more in need than us, the people of my household." He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, laughed until his canine teeth appeared, and he said: "Feed it to your family."

حدثنا روح، حدثنا محمد بن أبي حفصة، عن ابن شهاب، عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبي هريرة، أن أعرابيا، جاء يلطم وجهه وينتف شعره، ويقول: ما أراني إلا قد هلكت. فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " وما أهلكك؟ " قال: أصبت أهلي في رمضان. قال: " أتستطيع أن تعتق رقبة؟ " قال: لا. قال: " أتستطيع أن تصوم شهرين متتابعين؟ " قال: لا. قال: " أتستطيع أن تطعم ستين مسكينا؟ " قال: لا. وذكر الحاجة، قال: فأتي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بزنبيل، وهو المكتل، فيه خمسة عشر صاعا أحسبه تمرا، قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أين الرجل؟ " قال: " أطعم هذا " قال: يا رسول الله، ما بين لابتيها أحد أحوج منا أهل بيت. قال: فضحك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى بدت أنيابه، قال: " أطعمه أهلك "
