Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was never given a choice between two matters but chose the easier one, as long as it was not a sin. If it was 1 a sin, he was the furthest of people from it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never took revenge for himself in any matter, except if the sanctity of Allah was violated, then he would take revenge for Allah.
