Hadith #4785 (Sunan Abi Dawud) Book: General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) Narrator(s): Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, Hisham bin 'Urwa هشام بن عروة, Muhammad bin 'Abdur Rahman al-Tafawi محمد بن عبد الرحمن الطفاوي, Urwa ibn al-Zubayr عروة بن الزبير, Ya'qub bin Ibrahim bin Sa'd يعقوب بن إبراهيم بن سعد بن إبراهيم Grade: Sahih the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was never given his choice between two things without taking the easier(or lesser) of them provided it involved no sin, for if it did, no one kept farther away from it than he. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never took revenge on his own behalf for anything unless something Allah had forbidden has been transgressed, in which event he took revenge for it for Allah’s sake.
