حَدَّثَنَا
إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو أُوَيْسٍ ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ
عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ
عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ ، قَالَتْ :
" مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ إِثْمًا ، فَإِذَا كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ انْتُهِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةٌ ، هِيَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that whenever two things were presented before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of them was easier, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would choose the easier one, unless it was a sin, because if it was a sin, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would keep farther away from it than anyone else. And if anyone committed any insolence against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would never take revenge from that person, but if the sanctities of Allah were violated, he would take revenge for the sake of Allah.
