Narrated Abu Huraira:A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then fast for two successive months." He said, "I cannot." The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) . He said, "Where is the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)." He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 (ﷺ) smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it."

Sahih
It is related that Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'I am destroyed.' He asked, 'Why?' He answered, 'I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramadan.' He said, 'Free a slave.' He answered, 'I do not have the means. He said, 'Then fast two consecutive months.' The man said, 'I cannot do it.' He said, 'Then feed sixty poor people.' The man said, 'I do not have the means.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was brought a basket of dates and asked, 'Where is the questioner?' He said, 'I am here.' He said, 'Give this away as sadaqa.' The man said, 'To one poorer than me, Messenger of Allah? By the One who sent you with the truth, there is no household between the two lava-beds poorer than us.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, smiled until his molars showed and then said, 'You take it then.'"
