Volume 7, Book 64, Number 281:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to the Prophet PBUH and said, "I am ruined!"
The Prophet PBUH said, "Why?"
He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)."
The Prophet PBUH said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)."
He replied, "I cannot afford that."
The Prophet PBUH said, "Then fast for two successive months."
He said, "I cannot."
The Prophet PBUH said, "Then feed sixty poor persons."
He said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet PBUH.
He said, "Where is the questioner."
The man said, "I am here."
The Prophet PBUH said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)."
He said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two mountains poorer than us." The Prophet PBUH smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it."
