the accursed Satan, saying: “I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed.” He should then perform ablution, for ablution extinguishes anger. If he is standing, let him sit; if he is sitting, let him lie down. Should he still fear an outburst, let him leave the place he is in, so that he does not act upon his anger and later regret it. Allah is the One who grants success.

47 – Muʿādh ibn Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever suppresses his rage while able to act upon it, Allah will call him before all creation on the Day of Resurrection and allow him to choose from the ḥūr al-ʿīn, the wide-eyed maidens of Paradise, whichever he wishes.” Reported by Abu Dāwūd and al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan (good).

48 – Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that a man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, “Advise me.” He replied, “Do not become angry.” The man repeated his request several times, and each time the Prophet said, “Do not become angry.” ⦗157⦘ Reported by al-Bukhārī.

49 – Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, also reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Trial after trial continues to afflict the believing man and woman—in their own selves and in their children—until they meet Allah Most High with no sin upon them.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who said: a ḥadith ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ (good and sound).
