Narrated `Aisha: Whenever Allah's Apostle was given the choice of one of two matters he would choose the easier of the two as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful, he would not approach it. Allah's Apostle never took revenge over anybody for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's legal bindings were outraged, in which case he would take revenge for Allah's sake. (See Hadith No. 760. Vol. 4)

Then Abu Barza Al- Aslami came riding a horse and he started praying and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abu Barza interrupted his prayer and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawari) having a different opinion. He came saying. Look at this old man! He left his prayer because of a horse. On that Abu Barza came to us and said, Since the time I left Allah's Apostle, nobody has admonished me; My house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on praying and left my horse, I could not have reached my house till night. Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the Prophet, and that he had seen his leniency.

When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me.

But when he entered, the Prophet spoke to him gently in a polite manner. I said to him, O Allah's Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite manner?
