Beliau memilih yang paling mudah atau ringan dari kedua pilihan selama tidak termasuk dosa
Imam Bukhari : 3296حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَيَنْتَقِمَ لِلَّهِ بِهَا
Narrated to us ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] informed us [Malik] from [Ibn Syihab] from ['Urwah bin Az Zubair] from ['Aisyah], may Allah be pleased with her, that she said; "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, when faced with two choices, always took the easier one as long as it was not sinful. If it was sinful, he was the furthest of people from it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, never sought revenge for personal reasons, except if the sanctity of Allah was violated, then he would seek revenge for Allah's sake.
