رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا 6641. Narrated 'Aishah: Hind bint 'Utba bin Rabī'a said, "O Allāh's Messenger! (Before I embraced Islām), there was no family on the surface of the earth I wish to have degraded more than I did your family. But today there is no family whom I wish to have honoured more than I did yours." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "I thought similarly; by Him in Whose Hand Muḥammad's soul is!" Hind said, "O Allāh's Messenger! (My husband) Abū Sufyān is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed my children from his property?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, if you take it for your needs what is just and reasonable."

6641 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: إِنَّ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا كَانَ مِمَّا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ، أَوْ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ، أَوْ خِبَائِكَ شَكَّ يَحْيَى، ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ اليَوْمَ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ، أَوْ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ، أَوْ خِبَائِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَأَيْضًا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ» قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا إِلَّا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
