حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ وَلاَ يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَوَلَدِي إِلاَّ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَهُوَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ . فَقَالَ " خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ " .

ʿAishah reported: Hind came to the Prophet and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man. He does not give me enough for myself and my child, except what I take from his wealth without his knowledge.’ He said, ‘Take what is sufficient for you and your child, in a fair and customary manner.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source states both that Abu Sufyan does not provide enough and that Hind takes from his property without his knowledge. The Prophet’s instruction is limited by what is sufficient and by customary fairness.
