**From the book 'General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) of Sunan Abu Dawud.
Hadith No. 4762, 4764, 4766, 4759, 4760.
Situation:**
Narrated Mu’adh ibn Jabal: Two men reviled each other in the presence of the Prophet
and one of them became excessively angry so much so that I thought that his nose will break up on account of excess of anger. The Prophet
said: I know a phrase which, if he repeated, he could get rid of this angry feeling. They asked: What is it, Apostle of Allah? He replied: He should say: I seek refuge in Thee from the accursed devil. Mu’adh then began to ask him to do so, but he refused and persisted in quarrelling, and began to enhance his anger.
What to do/How to react:
Narrated AbuDharr: The Apostle of Allah
said to us: When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down.
Narrated Atiyyah as-Sa’di: AbuWa’il al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn as-Sa’di. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said: My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who reported the Apostle of Allah
as saying: Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.
Reward:
Narrated Mu’adh ibn Jabal: The Apostle of Allah
said: if anyone suppresses anger when he is in a position to give vent to it, Allah, the Exalted, will call him on the Day of Resurrection over the heads of all creatures, and ask him to choose any of the bright and large eyed maidens he wishes.
Narrated Son of a Companion: The Apostle of Allah
said: He then mentioned a similar tradition described above. This version has: Allah will fill his heart with security and faith. He did not mention the words “Allah will call him”. This version further adds: He who gives up wearing beautiful garments when he is able to do so (out of humility, as Bishr’s version has) will be clothed by Allah with the robe of honour, and he who marries for Allah’s sake will be crowned by Allah with the crown of Kingdom.
