Mishkat al-Masabih 29 Excellent Qualities and Description of the Prophet كتاب الفضائل والشمائل 78

وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لنَفسِهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ بِيَدِهِ وَلَا امْرَأَةً وَلَا خَادِمًا إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نِيلَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَطُّ فَيَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُنْتَهَكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ فينتقم لله. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

She said God’s messenger never struck anyone with his hand, neither a woman nor a servant, unless he was striving in God’s path; and nothing was ever done to him for which he took revenge on the perpetrator unless things God had forbidden were transgressed, in which event he took revenge for God’s sake. Muslim transmitted it.
