Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from abu Jamilah who has narrated the following: “About the case of expiation due to an oath which is freeing a slave, or feeding ten destitute person of the average kind of food for your family or clothing them, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The average kind of food is vinegar and oil, and a high quality is bread and meat.

Charity is one mud (a certain measurement) of wheat for each destitute person and clothes are two pieces. If one cannot find any of these, then he must fast for three consecutive days as Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said,.. if one cannot find then he must fast for three days.’”” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (24/337))
