The Cure for Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims. The questioner from Jordan says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, she says that she is hot-tempered, but she calms down quickly. Does she sin for her behavior? What is the cure for anger and hot-temperedness?
Answer:
Tribalism and anger are from Shaytan, and the cure for them is seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided the one who becomes angry to seek refuge from the accursed Shaytan, so that the anger departs from him. Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:[Fussilat 41:36] So you treat anger by seeking refuge from the accursed Shaytan, and also by performing wudu'. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided people to the fact that if a person is overcome by anger, he should perform wudu', because anger is from Shaytan, and Shaytan is created from fire, and water extinguishes fire. Also, if he is standing, he should sit, and if he is sitting, he should lie down, changing his state from the state of anger so that the anger changes in him. Yes.

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
