٣٩۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
Hind bint ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa came and said. "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Allah, there was no family on the surface of the earth, I like to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is no family on the surface of the earth whom I like to see honored more than yours." Hind added, "Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed our children from his property?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no blame on you if you feed them (thereof) in a just and reasonable manner. (Using translation from Bukhārī 7161)
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلِيَّ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا لَا حَرَجَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تُطْعِمِيهِمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
