208/274(صحيح)- عن عائشة رضي الله عنها؛ أنها قالت: "ما خير رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أمرين إلا اختار أيسرهما؛ ما لم يكن إثماً، فإذا كان إثماً كان أبعد الناس منه، وما انتقم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لنفسه، إلا أن تُنتهك حرمة الله تعالى، فينتقم لله عز وجل بها".
Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): She said, whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was given a choice between two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful. But if it was sinful, then he would be the farthest of all people from it. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never took revenge for his own sake, except when one of the sanctities of Allah the Exalted was violated, then he would take revenge for the sake of Allah the Exalted.
