Musnad Abi Ya'la 4382 — she said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : مَا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا ، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ عَنْهُ ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِنَفْسِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللهِ فَيَنْتَقِمَ لِلهِ بِهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was given a choice between two matters, he (peace and blessings be upon him) always chose the easier of them, provided it was not a sin; and if it was a sin, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would be the farthest of all people from it. Moreover, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never took revenge on anyone for his own sake; but when any sanctity of Allah was violated, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would take revenge for it for the sake of Allah."
