حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِمَّا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ- أَوْ خِبَاءٍ- أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ- أَوْ خِبَائِكَ، شَكَّ يَحْيَى- ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ أَهْلُ أَخْبَاءٍ- أَوْ خِبَاءٍ- أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ أَخْبَائِكَ أَوْ خِبَائِكَ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ». قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ قَالَ: «لاَ إِلاَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ».
Narrated `Aisha: Hind bint `Utba bin Rabi`a said, "O Allah 's Apostle! (Before I embraced Islam), there was no family on the surface of the earth, I wish to have degraded more than I did your family. But today there is no family whom I wish to have honored more than I did yours." Allah's Apostle said, "I thought similarly, by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is!" Hind said, "O Allah's Apostle! (My husband) Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed my children from his property?" The Prophet said, "No, unless you take it for your needs what is just and reasonable."

Hadith Commentary:
Hind's father, Utbah, was killed at the Battle of Badr by Amir Hamzah (radi Allahu anhu).
Therefore, Hind harbored intense enmity towards the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
To the extent that when Amir Hamzah (radi Allahu anhu) was martyred at the Battle of Uhud, Hind extracted his liver and chewed it. After this, when Makkah was conquered, she embraced Islam.
