The character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given a choice between two things, he took the easier one, as long as it was not a sin; if it was a sin, he was the furthest of people from it. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never took revenge for himself, unless something Allah had made sacred was violated; then he would act for Allah's sake.
