Seek forgiveness through sincere repentance ; Do small acts such as giving charity out of sincerity ; Do good deeds without expecting anything back ; Love God alone without expectations .

This hadith is about repentance and seeking forgiveness from Allah for breaking one's fast during Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked by a man what he should do to repent after having sexual relations with his wife while fasting during Ramadan. The Prophet ﷺ suggested that he free a slave, fast two months consecutively or feed sixty poor people as atonement for his sin. When the man said that he could not afford any of these options, the Prophet ﷺ then told him to give away a basket full of dates in charity instead as an act of repentance and forgiveness from Allah SWT. This hadith teaches us that even if we cannot afford something big or expensive as an act of repentance, we can still do small acts such as giving charity which will be accepted by Allah SWT if done sincerely and with good intentions. It also teaches us that no matter how small our deeds are they can still be accepted by Allah SWT if done out of sincerity and love for Him alone without expecting anything in return except His pleasure and mercy upon us all.
