Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ، فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا قَالَ " لاَ إِلاَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ".
Translation
Ibn Muqatil narrated to us: ʿAbdullah informed us: Yunus informed us, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ʿUrwah told me that ʿAʾishah, may God be pleased with her, said: Hind bint ʿUtbah came and said, “Messenger of God, Abu Sufyan is a miser. Would I be at fault if I fed our dependents from what belongs to him?” He said, “No, except in a reasonable manner.”
