وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا خُيِّرَ عَمَّارٌ بَيْنَ أمرينِ إِلا اخْتَار أرشدهما» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

`A'isha reported God's messenger as saying, "`Ammar is not given a choice between two things without choosing the more difficult and the lesser[*].'' *Cf. Tirmidhi, Manaqib, 34. The editions of Cairo, 1875 and 1931-34, do not contain the word translated 'lesser,' and instead of ashaddahuma (the more difficult of them) they have asaddahuma (the more upright of them). Tirmidhi adds that this is a hasan gharib tradition. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 3799) and Ahmad (No. 23676). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 6236).
