(10) Chapter. To carry out the legal punishment; and to take revenge on those who transgress Allah’s limits and boundaries.
Hadith 6786
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " مَا خُيِّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ ، إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا ، مَا لَمْ يَأْثَمْ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ الْإِثْمُ ، كَانَ أَبْعَدَهُمَا مِنْهُ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا انْتَقَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي شَيْءٍ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِ قَطُّ ، حَتَّى تُنْتَهَكَ حُرُمَاتُ اللَّهِ ، فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ " .
Narrated Aisha: Whenever the Prophet was given an option between two things, he used to select the easier of the tow as long as it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he would remain far from it. By Allah, he never took revenge for himself concerning any matter that was presented to him, but when Allah's Limits were transgressed, he would take revenge for Allah's Sake.
