The reciter: Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us, al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Aqil, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah, from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6786.
The Shaykh : His statement:Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 348Sahih (Zubair `Aliza'i) means that it did not involve sin if he had chosen it.
This applies to what concerns a person's own choice. As for what concerns the Shari'ah, it is not permissible for a believing man or a believing woman to have the choice in their matters; it is not possible to prefer the easier option over what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has chosen.
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.
ما خير النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أمرين إلا اختار أيسرهما ما لم يأثم، فإذا كان الإثم كان أبعدهما منه، والله ما انتقم لنفسه في شيء يؤتى إليه قط، حتى تنتهك حرمات الله، فينتقم للهThe Shaykh : His statement:
Whenever he was given a choice between two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, provided it was not conducive to sin.
