حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِى رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ « هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً ». قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ « وَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ ». قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ « فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ».

It was narrated by Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with her] that a man had intercourse with his wife in Ramadan, and he consulted the Prophet (SAW) about that. He said: “Do you have the means to free a slave?” He said: “No.” He said: “Can you fast for two consecutive months?” He said: “No.” He said: “Then feed sixty poor people.”
