"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".

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 bint ʿUtba 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'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. Is there any harm to me if I take something from his property ? He said: Take as much as suffices you and your children according to the custom.

[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."
أَنَّ هِنْدًا أُمَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَبَنِيَّ إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ جُنَاحٌ؟ فَقَالَ «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
[Machine] Abdullah bin Maslamah Al-Qa'nabi narrated to me that his father, Hisham bin 'Urwah, narrated from his father, from Aisha who said: Hind, the mother of Muawiya, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and does not give me enough to suffice me and my children, except for what I take from him without his knowledge. Is there any harm for me in that? So the Prophet ﷺ said to her: "Take that which is sufficient for you and your children in a manner that is reasonable."
ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ أُمُّ مُعَاوِيَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَلَا يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَوَلَدِي إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ حَرَجٌ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
[Machine] Hind, the mother of Mu'awiyah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and he only gives my children what I take from him, and he does not know about it. Do I have any right in this matter?" The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children with kindness."

جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَلَا يُعْطِينِي وَوَلَدِي مَا يَكْفِينِي إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «خُذِي لَكِ وَلِوَلَدِكَ مَا يَكْفِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
[Machine] That Hind, the mother of Mu'awiya, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man, and he only gives me and my children what I take from him, and he does not know about it. Is there anything upon me in this matter?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children with kindness."
أَنَّ هِنْدًا أُمَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ جَاءَتْ 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 مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَبَنِيكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»
[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»
Hind bint ʿUtba 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?"

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَلَيْسَ يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَوَلَدِي إِلَّا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ قَالَ «خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ 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
