English translation

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)

Arabic text

4785 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ، إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ بِهَا»
