Sahih al-Bukhari 5077 (Book 67, Hadith 15) #4861
The Value of Choosing the Unused

SUMMARY: It is better to choose something that has not been used before.

Narrated 'Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Suppose you landed in a valley where there is a tree of which something has been eaten and then you found trees of which nothing has been eaten, of which tree would you let your camel graze?" He said, "(I will let my camel graze) of the one of which nothing has been eaten before". (The sub-narrator added: 'Aisha meant that Allah's Messenger had not married a virgin besides herself )
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ نَزَلْتَ وَادِيًا وَفِيهِ شَجَرَةٌ قَدْ أُكِلَ مِنْهَا، وَوَجَدْتَ شَجَرًا لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ مِنْهَا، فِي أَيِّهَا كُنْتَ تُرْتِعُ بَعِيرَكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِي الَّذِي لَمْ يُرْتَعْ مِنْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ تَعْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْ بِكْرًا غَيْرَهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by 'Aisha highlights the importance of making wise choices and preferences. In this hadith, she asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ what he would do if he found two trees in a valley, one of which has been eaten from and the other untouched. He replied that he would choose the tree which has not been eaten from before. This teaches us to always opt for something new or unused instead of something that has already been used or taken advantage of by someone else. We should strive to make wise decisions and be mindful when choosing between two options as it can have a lasting impact on our lives.
