Salamah ibn Sakhr Ansari (RA) narrated: I was a man who was given potentiat for sexual intercourse with women that was not given to others. When the month of Ramadan began I made zihar with my wife so that (the month may pass and) I may not indulge in sexual intercourse with her in the night and continue with it into the day being unable to stop. However, while she was serving me one night, something of her body was spotted by me and I leaped on her. When it was morning. I went to my people and, informed them of the happening and asked them to accompany me to Allah's Messenger (SAW) that we might inform him of my plight. They said, "No, By Allah, we shall not do that for fear that the Qur'an night be revealed about us, or Allah's Messenger (SAW) might say something to us: words that could reflect on us. But, you go alone and do what seems correct to you. So I want and met Allah's Messenger (SAW) and informed him of my doings. He asked, "You alone did it"? I said, "Yes I did it myself. And, here I am, so impose on me Allah's command. I am patient over that." He said, "Emancipate a slave." I struck my neck with my hand and submitted, "By Him who has sent you with Truth. I do not own anything other than ths (my) neck." He said, "Then keep fast for two months." I pleaded, "O Messenger of Allah, has anything afflicted me except through fasting"? He said, "Then feed sixty poor people." I pleaded, "By Him who has sent you with the Truth, indeed, we spent our this night in hunger. We had no mea) for the night." He said, "Go to the officer collecting zakah of Banu Zurayq and ask him for it. He will give it to you and you feed with that a wassq each to sixty poor people and with that which remains with you help yourself and your family." Then I returned to my people and said to them, "I found with you constriction and wicked opinion, but I found with Allah's Messenger generosity and blessing. He has commanded me to collect your iakah. So pay it to me." Thus they paid their zakah to me.
