Amir Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states:
When you become angry with someone and feel like fighting and breaking things, then make yourself understand in this way: ‘Even if I have gained some power over others, Allah Almighty has infinitely more power over me. If, in the state of anger, I hurt anyone’s feelings or violate anyone’s rights, then how will I remain safe from the wrath of Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgement?[1]
Another cure for anger is that at the time of anger, recall the way of life and accounts of the pious predecessors. Let us listen to 3 such accounts:
1. A person once rudely addressed Amir al-Muˈminīn, Sayyidunā ꜤUmar b. ꜤAbd al-ꜤAziz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه. He bowed his head and said: ‘Do you want me to become angry and that Satan plunges me into the pride of arrogance and power, I make you a target of oppression and on the Day of Judgement, you seek its compensation from me? I will certainly not do this.’ Saying this, he remained silent.[2]
2. A person swore at Sayyidunā Salmān al-Fārsī رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. He replied: ‘On the Day of Judgement, if my scale of bad deeds is heavier, then I am worse than what you have said. However, if it is lighter, then I do not care about your swearing.’[3]
3. A person cursed at Sayyidunā ShaꜤbī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه. He replied: ‘If you have spoken the truth, then may Allah Almighty forgive me and if you have lied, then may Allah Almighty forgive you.’[4]
