therefore, some methods of controlling anger will also be mentioned. Let us first listen to an account:

Exemplary tolerance!

People would come to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to accept Islam. One day, a descendant of the king of Yemen, Wāˈ’il b. Ḥujr رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ came to the court of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with a delegation to accept Islam. The Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ told him: ‘The Beloved Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had already informed us about your arrival 3 days ago.’

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم showed a lot of affection towards him, spread his blessed shawl for him, made him sit next to him, said praiseworthy words about him on the blessed pulpit, prayed for blessing and assigned Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ to take him to the place where he was going to stay.

Ḥujr after walking a little while: ‘It is very hot and now my feet are burning from inside as well. Allow me to mount on the camel behind you.’

Wāˈil b. Ḥujr refused. Upon this, Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ said: ‘At least give me your shoes so I can protect myself from the heat’. Wāˈil b. Ḥujr replied: ‘You are not from those people who can wear the clothes of kings. Walking in the shade of my she-camel is sufficient for you.’

Hearing this, Sayyidunā Amir MuꜤāwiyah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ displayed great
