control your temper




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."


The above quotation was said by Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) quoted from Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5114 Narated By Abu Dharr


Al-Muwatta Hadith 47.11 Malik related from Ibn Shihab from Humayd ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that,
A man came to the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and said,
"O Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam), teach me some words which I can live by. Do not make them too much for me, lest I forget."
The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,
"Do not be angry."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5145 Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri

Allah's Messenger (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentioned anger, saying,
"Some are swift to anger and swift to cool down, the one characteristic making up for the other; some are slow to anger and slow to cool down, the one characteristic making up for the other; but the best of you are those who are slow to anger and swift to cool down, and the worst of you are those who are swift to anger and slow to cool down."

He continued,
"Beware of anger, for it is a live coal on the heart of the descendant of Adam. Do you not notice the swelling of the veins of his neck and the redness of his eyes? So when anyone experiences anything of that nature he should lie down and cleave to the earth."

'I know a phrase which, if he repeated, he could get rid of this angry feeling.'
They asked: 'What is it, O Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?'
He (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied:
'He should say:
'I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytaan.'
