حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْخُرْقِي، ثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ وَرْقَاءَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ:
مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ مَعْصِيَةٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَ مَعْصِيَةً فَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ ".
