Sahih Muslim Book - 30, Hadith - 4477

حَدَّثَنِى عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ لاَ يُعْطِينِى مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ مَا يَكْفِينِى وَيَكْفِى بَنِىَّ إِلاَّ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمِهِ. فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ فِى ذَلِكَ مِنْ جُنَاحٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « خُذِى مِنْ مَالِهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَيَكْفِى بَنِيكِ ».

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Hind bint 'Utbah, the wife of Abu Sufyan, entered upon the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and he does not give me enough maintenance for myself and my children, unless I take from his wealth without his knowledge. Is there any sin on me for that? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Take from his wealth on a reasonable basis, whatever is sufficient for yourself and your children."
