Hind bint 'Utba came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! (Before I embraced Islam) there was no family on the surface of the earth I wished to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is no family on the surface of the earth I wish to see honored more than I did yours." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I thought similarly, by Him in whose Hand my soul is!" She further said, "O Messenger of Allah ! Abu Sufyan is a miser, so, is it sinful of me to feed my children from his property ?" He said, "I do not allow it unless you take for your needs what is just and reasonable."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ قَالَ وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا قَالَ لاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ  

Hind bint ʿUtba bin Rabiʿa said, "O Allah 's Apostle! (Before I embraced Islam), 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 honored more than I did yours." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I thought similarly, by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is!" Hind said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (My husband) Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed my children from his property?" The Prophet said, "No, unless you take it for your needs what is just and reasonable."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِمَّا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ أَوْ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ أَوْ خِبَائِكَ شَكَّ يَحْيَى ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ أَوْ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ أَوْ خِبَائِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ  

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.  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ وَمَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا قَالَ لَهَا لاَ حَرَجَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تُطْعِمِيهِمْ مِنْ مَعْرُوفٍ  

Messenger of Allah, by Allah, there was no other household upon the surface of the earth than your household about which I cherished Allah bringing disgrace upon it, (and now) there is no other household upon the surface of the earth than your household about which I cherish Allah granting it honour. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: It is so, by Him in Whose Hand is my life She said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a niggardly person. Is there any harm for me if I spend upon his children out of his wealth without his permission? Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: There is no harm for you if you spend upon them what is reasonable.

It will increase, by Him in Whose Hand is my life. She then said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a niggardly person; is there any harm for me if I spend out of that which belongs to him on our children? He said to her: No, but only that what is reasonable.

[Machine] Hind came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, there was never a people on the face of the earth more hated than the people of your tribe. And today, there is no people on the face of the earth more beloved to me than the people of your tribe. So the Prophet said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, he (meaning Hind's husband) will indeed increase.' Then she said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man, and I would like to spend on my children from his wealth without his permission.

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah that there was never anyone from the people of Khubaa' more beloved to me than to have them humiliated in front of the people of your Khubaa', who are now on the face of the earth in the morning and it is more beloved to me that they are honored among your people of Khubaa'." He (the Prophet) said: "Also, by the one in whose hand is my soul, then she (the woman) said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a man who is tight-fisted, so is there any harm if I feed from what he owns for the sake of his dependents?" He said: "No, as long as it is done in kindness." And in the narration of Ibn Bukayr, she said: "Is there any harm for me to feed from what he owns?" He said: "Yes, as long as it is done in kindness." They have the same meaning, and Ibn Bukayr doubted between Ihya' and Khubaa'.
