باب قَضِيَّةِ هِنْدٍ:Chapter: The case of Hind
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : " جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ خِبَاءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ، وَمَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ خِبَاءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ حَرَجٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : لَا إِلَّا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ " .
A'isha reported that Hind, daughter of Utba h. Rabi', came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, by Allah, there was no household upon the surface of the earth than your household about which I cherished that it should be disgraced. But today there is no household on the surface of the earth than your household about which I cherish that it be honoured. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. It will increase, by Him in Whose Hand is my life. She then said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan (RA) is a niggardly person; is there any harm for me if I spend out of that which belongs to him on our children? He said to her: No, but only that what is reasonable.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
This hadith establishes that the maintenance (expenses) of the wife and children, according to the customs of the time, is the responsibility of the husband. According to the scholars of Hijaz, if a woman does not do household work in her parents’ home, or is unable to do so due to illness or other reasons, then it is the husband’s responsibility to provide a servant. According to the Hanafi scholars, this is the case when the husband is wealthy, and according to some, the intent is that if a slave-girl (bondwoman) comes with the woman for service, then her maintenance will be the responsibility of the husband. The intent is not that a servant should be hired for her on wages.

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.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Ayḍan:
Imam Ibn Teen has interpreted this to mean, "Now I also love you."
However, most scholars have interpreted it to mean that your faith will become stronger day by day, and accordingly,
there will be an increase in love for Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and a turning away from hatred and aversion,
because the original meaning of "āḍ ayḍan" is to return and to turn back.
