Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1502 — The Book of Virtues and Merits (of the Prophet ﷺ and other Prophets ﷺ)
The Prophet ﷺ used to be very far away from sinful deeds and used to choose the easiest amongst the lawful good deeds and actions, and used to take revenge for Allâh’s sake when Allâh’s legal bindings were outraged.

Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1502
حديث عَائِشَة، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَاّ أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، لِنَفْسِهِ، إِلَاّ أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللهِ فَيَنْتَقِمَ للهِ بِهَا.
A'isha Narrated from:
Whenever Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ was given the choice of one of two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful to do so, he would not approach it. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ never took revenge (over anybody) for his own sake but (he did) only when Allâh's Legal Laws and Bindings were outraged in which case he would take revenge for Allâh's sake. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 760, Vol. 4)
