4785. It was narrated from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb, from Urwah bin Az-Zubair, from 'Aīshah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was never given the choice between two things but he chose the easier of them, so long as it was not a sin. If it was a sin, he would be the furthest of people from it. And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ never took revenge for himself, but if one of the sacred limits of Allāh was transgressed, he would take revenge for the sake of Allāh." (Sahih)
