Chapter 86: Limits and Punishments set by Allah (Hudood)
Narrated Aisha: Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) was given an option between two things, he used to select the easier of the tow
as long as it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he would remain far from it. By Allah, he never took
revenge for himself concerning any matter that was presented to him, but when Allah' s Limits were
transgressed, he would take revenge for Allah' s Sake.
