Sahih al-Bukhari 1935 (Book 30, Hadith 42) #1855
Charity as Expiation

SUMMARY: A man committed a sin and was advised to give charity as expiation.

Narrated 'Aisha: A man came to the Prophet and said that he had been burnt (ruined). The Prophet asked him what was the matter. He replied, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting)". Then a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet and he asked, "Where is the burnt (ruined) man?" He replied, "I am present". The Prophet told him to give that basket in charity (as expiation).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ يَزِيدَ بْنَ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ـ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ ـ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ خُوَيْلِدٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ تَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ احْتَرَقَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَالَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَهْلِي فِي رَمَضَانَ‏.‏ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِمِكْتَلٍ، يُدْعَى الْعَرَقَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيْنَ الْمُحْتَرِقُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَنَا‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا
