The Luckiest Man in the World
Abu Hurairah said, a man came to the Prophet, and exclaimed: “I’m wretched, O Messenger of God!” The Prophet replied, “What makes you wretched?” The man went on, “I have sex with my wife at noon during the holy month of Ramadan.” The Prophet asked., “Can you free a slave?” He answered, “I am afraid not.” The Prophet then asked, “Can you fast for two consecutive months?” He answered, “I don’t think I can.” The Prophet asked another question, “Can you feed sixty poor people?” He answered, “No.”
Abu Hurairah said, “Then, while the man was sitting, another man brought a basket of dates to the Prophet. The Prophet then spoke to the previous man, “You give alms with this!” The man answered, “I believe I must give it to those who are poorer than me, right? Nobody is poorer than me in my neighborhood.”
The Prophet laughed at hearing this so one could see his teeth. Then the Prophet spoke to the man, “You may bring it home and feed your family with it.”
