Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا خُيِّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ أَحَدُهُمَا أَيْسَرُ مِنْ الْآخَرِ إِلَّا أَخَذَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَيْسَرُ.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, he said: Hisham narrated to us, he said: my father informed me from Aisha, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was never given the choice between two matters, one of which was easier than the other, except that he took the easier of the two.
