Give away dates in charity , Help those who are less fortunate than you , Be generous and kind towards others .

This hadith is about how one can expiate their sins through charity. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad and said he was ruined because he had sexual intercourse with his wife while fasting in Ramadan. The Prophet asked him if he could free a slave, fast for two consecutive months or feed sixty poor people as an expiation for his sin but the man said no to all three options. An Ansari then came with a basket full of dates which the Prophet suggested be given away in charity as an alternative form of atonement for his sin. The man then said there were no families poorer than them between Medina's two mountains so Allah's Messenger told him to provide his family with it instead. This hadith teaches us that even if we cannot fulfill certain obligations due to our financial situation, we can still make up for our wrongdoings through other means such as giving charity or helping those who are less fortunate than us in whatever way we can.
