"جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ أُمُّ مُعَاوِيَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعْطِينِي وَوَلَدِي إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ: خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ".

Hind b. Utba said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Abu Sufyan is a miser and he does not give me what is sufficient for me and my children. Can I take of his property without his knowledge?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children, and the amount should be just and reasonable.

Hind, the mother of Mu'awiya said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Abu Sufyan (her husband) is a miser. Am I allowed to take from his money secretly?" The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "You and your sons may take what is sufficient reasonably and fairly."
هِنْدٌ أُمُّ مُعَاوِيَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهِ سِرًّا قَالَ خُذِي أَنْتِ وَبَنُوكِ مَا يَكْفِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
Hind, the mother of Mu'awiyah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'Abu Sufyan is a stingy person. He does not give me as much (money) as suffices me and my children.

[Machine] Hind, the mother of Muawiya and the wife of Abu Sufyan, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and does not provide me and my children with enough. I only take from him what I can take, and he does not know. Is there any blame on me regarding this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children in a manner that is acceptable."

[Machine] Indeed, my husband, Abu Sufyan, is a tight-fisted and stingy man who does not give me enough and my children. Shall I take from his wealth without his knowledge? So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children with kindness."
إِنَّ زَوْجِي أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ شَحِيحٌ لَا يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَبَنِيَّ أَفَآخُذُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
[Machine] Hind the mother of Muawiyah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she said, "Indeed, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and he does not give me and my children enough except what I have taken from him without his knowledge. So, am I entitled to anything in this matter?" The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children according to what is right." This is the wording of the hadith narrated by Abdul Aziz.
جَاءَتْ هِنْدُ أُمُّ مُعَاوِيَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَوَلَدِي إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ
