`Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported:
Whenever the Holy Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was given a choice he would choose the easier course as long as it was not sinful to do so but if it was sinful he avoided it.
Nor did he ever take revenge over anybody for his own sake but when Allahs legal bindings were outraged. He then would take revenge for Allahs sake.
(Agreed-upon)
