Hadith #527
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ خَادِمًا لَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا امْرَأَةً وَلَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ إِلَّا كَانَ أَحَبَّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ أَيْسَرُهُمَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ إِثْمًا فَإِذَا كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْ الْإِثْمِ وَلَا انْتَقَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى تُنْتَهَكَ حُرُمَاتُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَيَكُونَ هُوَ يَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

عبد الرزاق
معمر عن
English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never struck a servant with his hand, nor a woman, nor did he ever strike anything with his hand — except when striving in the cause of Allah. Whenever two matters were presented to him, the one he loved more was the easier of the two — unless it was sinful, in which case he was the farthest of all people from sin. And he never took personal revenge for anything done to him — unless the sanctities of Allah were violated, in which case he would take revenge for the sake of Allah.'
