حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ مَا اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا فِي ذِي الْقِعْدَةِ وَلَقَدْ اعْتَمَرَ ثَلَاثَ عُمَرٍ.
English Translation
Aisha reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) never struck anything with his hand, neither a woman nor a servant, except when fighting in the cause of Allah. And he was never harmed by anything to the point of taking revenge on the one who did it, unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated, in which case he would take revenge for the sake of Allah.
