It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advising someone of his household: "Spend on your family according to your means and capacity, do not lift your stick away from them for their upbringing and discipline (that is, do not be neglectful of watching over them), and keep warning them about disobeying Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and about His punishment."
Imam Abu Ya'la also narrated this same hadith with his chain.
Furthermore, Imam Abd bin Humayd reported the statement of Imam al-Zuhri that the person to whom this advice was given was Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him).
