باب ما جاء فى خلق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the character of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Let my tongue be cut for speaking the truth
Hadith 348
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْتَصِرًا مِنْ مَظْلَمَةٍ ظُلِمَهَا قَطُّ مَا لَمْ يُنْتَهَكْ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شَيْءٌ، فَإِذَا انْتُهِكَ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ كَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ غَضَبًا، وَمَا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَأْثَمًا»
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Whenever any injustice or excess was done to the Prophet (peace be upon him), I never saw him taking revenge or seeking retribution for it. But when the sanctities of Allah were violated and dishonored, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would become the most angry. And whenever he was given a choice between two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, provided it was not sinful.
