English translation

5422. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Hind came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, Abū Sufyān 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.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5420 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ، وَلَا يُنْفِقُ عَلَيَّ وَوَلَدِي مَا يَكْفِينِي، أَفَآخُذُ مِنْ مَالِهِ، وَلَا يَشْعُرُ؟ قَالَ: «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدِكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»

Commentary

'Take what is sufficient' means what is in accord with your needs. An-Nasā'ī has argued, from this narration, concerning the permissibility of giving judgment over the person who is absent.
