Explanation of the Hadith: The Strong Man Is Not the One Who Overpowers Others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is mentioned 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


Answer:
Yes, it is mentioned in the hadith:
The authentic hadith states: The strong man is not the one who overpowers others with his strength; rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he becomes angry.الصحيح ليس الشديد بالصرعة أي الذي يصرع الناس بقوته، إنما الشديد الذي يمسك نفسه عند الغضب،
So when he becomes angry, he restrains himself from taking revenge and from carrying out punishment on the one who angered him, and he pardons him. Yes.
