The Correct Way to Control Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This man asks, saying: I am very quick to anger, so what do you advise me to do? And when I get angry, do I divorce?
Answer:
As for the matter of divorce, this is to be referred to the court or the Department of Ifta. As for intense anger, it is dispelled by seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:200] He seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and this is what drives away anger. A man was angry, quarreling with another person, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him and saw that his anger had intensified. He said: Mishkat al-Masabih 2418 The man was informed of this, so he said: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and the anger left him. Yes.

And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌhe knew a phrase by repeating which the man could get rid of his angry feelings: “I seek refuge in God from that accursed devil.”
إني لا أعلم كلمة لو قالها لذهب عنه ما يجد أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
