Ali Ataie – The Prophet Helps a Man Who Deliberately Broke His Fast in Ramadan

That a man broke his fast in Ramadan.

He came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam,

and he said my wife and I couldn't

control ourselves.

We broke our fast

during the daytime in Ramadan.

The prophet he

said, free a slave, and he said, I

can't afford to do that.

And then he said, you have to fast

for 60 consecutive days. And the man said,

I can't even fast 3 days of Ramadan.

And he said, then you have to feed

60 people.

He said, I don't have anything. With what?

And so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he

went out and got him a big basket

of dates.

He said, here, take this and feed people.

He said, you know, there's nobody more poor

than my own family.

And then the hadith says,

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,

he smiled until his molar teeth were showing.

And he said then feed your family with

it.

Right?
