3532. It was narrated from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from 'Urwah, from 'Āishah that Hind, the mother of Mu'āwiyah, came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "Abū Sufyān is a stingy man and he does not give me enough for my children and I. Is there any sin on me if I take something from his wealth?" He said: "Take what is sufficient for you and your children on a reasonable basis." (Sahih)
3532 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ هِنْدًا أُمَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ، جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ، رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَبَنِيَّ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
