حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ :
" مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَيْسَرُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا ، فَإِذَا كَانَ إِثْمًا ، كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ " . .
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, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be farther from it than anyone else.
