Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I heard him^asws saying, ‘A man came over to Rasool-Allah^saww, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I have done <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> from my wife’. He^saww said: ‘Go, so emancipate a neck’. He said, ‘There isn’t anything with me’. He^saww said: ‘Go, so Fast for two months consecutively’. He said, ‘I am not strong enough’. He^saww said: ‘Go, so feed sixty poor ones’. He said, ‘There isn’t with me (enough money)’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I^saww shall give charity on your behalf’. So he^saww gave him some dates for feeding sixty poor ones. He^saww said: ‘Go, so give in charity with it’. So he said, ‘By the One Who^azwj Sent you^saww with the truth, I do not know anyone between these mountains anyone more needy for it than myself and my family’. He^saww said: ‘So, go, eat and feed your family’.
