Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Mus'ab told us: al-Awza'i told us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from A'isha, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was never given the choice between two matters in Islam except that he chose the easier of the two.
