Anger and whether its owner commits a sin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is the last question. The questioner asks: Does one who gets angry commit a sin? Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man when he said to him, “Advise me,” he said:
Do not get angry,لا تغضب،


The Shaykh:
Anger is something a person cannot prevent, but he does not act on his anger. He does not act on his anger, as came in the hadith:
The strong-man is not one who wrestles well but the strong man is one who controls himself when he is in a fit of rage.لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ
Sahih Muslim 2609a
, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
and when they are angry, they forgive,وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:37]
. When it says “when they become angry,” it indicates that they do get angry, but they do not act on their anger; rather, they pardon them and overlook. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

The Shaykh:
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
