The ruling on uttering strange words when angry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, this questioner says: The man who asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to advise him, and he repeated it several times, saying: "Do not get angry." Some people, Shaykh, when they get angry, lose control of themselves and begin to utter strange words, claiming that this is outside their control.
Answer:
Yes, when anger is present, Satan is present. So the person should seek refuge in Allah from Satan to be safe from his evil, and he should restrain himself from anger, and it will be removed from him by the permission of Allah. Anger is from Satan. So if a person gets angry, let him say: "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan," and Satan will depart from him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw two men cursing each other, meaning they were exchanging insults. Anger appeared more on one of them, in that his neck veins swelled and his eyes turned red. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 2418. They went to the man and informed him of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said it, and what he was feeling departed from him. And the proof of that is in the words of Allah: [Al-A'raf 7:200]. Yes.
