[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never struck a servant of his, nor a woman, nor did he ever strike with his hand, except when he was fighting in the cause of Allah. He never sought revenge for himself, except when the limits of Allah were violated, then he would seek revenge for the sake of Allah. And when two matters were presented to him, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful. If it was sinful, he would be the furthest person from it.
مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَادِمًا لَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا امْرَأَةً لَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَمَا نِيلَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَانْتَقَمَهُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ مَحَارِمُ اللهِ ﷻ فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَمَا عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَيْسَرُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِأَيْسَرِهِمَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَأْثَمًا فَإِنْ كَانَ مَأْثَمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ
