النص العربي
مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِنَفْسِهِ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَيَنْتَقِمَ لِلَّهِ بِهَا.
English Translation
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given the choice of one of two matters, he would choose the easier ofthe two, as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful to do so, he would not approach it.Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never took revenge (over anybody) for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah'sLegal Bindings were outraged in which case he would take revenge for Allah's Sake.
