Riyad as-Salihin 1535
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ قالت هند امرأة أبي سفيان للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ إن أبا سفيان رجل شحيح وليس يعطيني ما يكفيني وولدي إلا ما أخذت منه، وهو لا يعلم‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏
"‏خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروف‏"
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said:

Hind, the wife of Abu Sufyan, said to the Prophet (ﷺ): Abu Sufyan is a niggardly man and does not give me and my children adequate provisions for maintenance unless I take something from his possession without his knowledge. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "Take from his possessions on a reasonable basis that much which may suffice for you and your children."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
