Chapter 14: What was narrated concerning the expiation for one who breaks the fast in Ramadan
باب مَا جَاءَ فِي كَفَّارَةِ مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1671
It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘I am doomed.’ He said: ‘Why are you doomed?’ He
said:
‘I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan.’ The Prophet
(ﷺ) said:
‘Free a slave.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He said:
‘Fast for two
consecutive months.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Feed sixty poor
persons.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Sit down.’ So he sat down,
and while doing so a basketful
of dates was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Go and give this in
charity.’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah ,
by the One Who sent you
with the truth, there is no household between
its two lava fields
(i.e., in Al-Madinah) that is more in need of it
than us.’ He said:
‘Then go and feed your family.’”
Another chain from Abu Hurairah with additional words: "Then he (the Prophet (ﷺ) SAW) said: "And fast a day in its place."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلَكْتُ . قَالَ: " وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ " . قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً " . قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُهَا . قَالَ: " صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ " . قَالَ: لاَ أُطِيقُ . قَالَ: " أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا " . قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُ . قَالَ: " اجْلِسْ " . فَجَلَسَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِمِكْتَلٍ يُدْعَى الْعَرَقَ فَقَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا . قَالَ: " فَانْطَلِقْ فَأَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ " . حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: " وَصُمْ يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ " .
