Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin ShAzan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having been asked about a man who breaks a Fast for a day from the Month of Ramazan, deliberately. So he^asws said: ‘A man came over to the Prophet^saww, so he said, ‘I am destroyed, O Rasool-Allah^saww!’ So he^saww said: ‘What is the matter?’ So he said, ‘The Fire, O Rasool-Allah^saww!’ He^saww said: ‘And what is the matter?’ He said, ‘I fell upon my wife’. He^saww said: ‘Give in charity and seek Forgiveness’. So the man said, ‘By the One^azwj Who Magnified your^saww rights, nothing is left in the house, neither less nor more’. He^asws said: ‘A man from the people came over with a sack of dates in which were twenty Sa’as (a unit of measurement), which happens to be ten Sa’as by (the measurement) of our Sa’as’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him: ‘Take these dates and give in charity with it’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Whom shall I give it in charity with it, and I have informed you^saww that there is neither in my house anything less nor more?’ He^saww said: ‘So take it and feed it to your dependents and seek Forgiveness of Allah^azwj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So when we came out, our companions said, ‘It has to be begun with the emancipation’. So he^asws said: ‘Emancipate, or Fast, or charity’.
