[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ strike a servant or a woman or anything with his hand, except when he was fighting in the cause of Allah. He never sought revenge for his own sake unless the boundaries set by Allah were violated. And he never took anything for himself except what was right. However, if it was for Allah's sake, then He would seek revenge on his behalf. He was never given a choice between two matters, but he would choose the easier of the two, unless it was a sin. In that case, he would be the furthest of the people from it.
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ خَادِمًا لَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا امْرَأَةً لَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلَا نِيلَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَطُّ فَيَنْتَقِمَهُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلَّهِ انْتَقَمَ لَهُ وَلَا عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِالَّذِي هُوَ أَيْسَرُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ إِثْمًا فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ
