حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم مُنْتَصِرًا مِنْ مَظْلَمَةٍ ظُلِمَهَا قَطُّ مَا لَمْ يُنْتَهَکْ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ تَعَالَی شَيْئٌ فَإِذَا انْتُهِکَ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ شَيْئٌ کَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّهِمْ فِي ذَلِکَ غَضَبًا وَمَا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَکُنْ مَأْثَمًا
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 327
'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha says: ''I have never seen Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam avenge himself for a personal affliction, but if one transgressed a prohibited thing from those prohibited by Allah, (To commit a haraam act. The commentators on hadith say the rights of man are also included) then there was no one more angry than Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. Whenever Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was given a choice between two things, he always chose the one that was simple, if it did not lead to any type of sin".
