أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا وَکِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَائَتْ هِنْدٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَلَا يُنْفِقُ عَلَيَّ وَوَلَدِي مَا يَکْفِينِي أَفَآخُذُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَلَا يَشْعُرُ قَالَ خُذِي مَا يَکْفِيکِ وَوَلَدِکِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5435
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Hind came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man who does not spend enough on my child and I. Can I take from his wealth without him realizing?’ He said: ‘Take what is sufficient for you and your child on a reasonable basis.” (Sahih)
