How did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say to the man, "Do not get angry," while he himself was angry (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second issue, O Shaykh, is how one can get angry when anger has been prohibited?
The Shaykh : Yes, the second issue: how can one get angry when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, prohibiting the man from anger?
It is said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prohibit the man from natural anger that comes from one's nature, because that is beyond a person's control. However, the meaning is that one should not give in to it, and that one should remain calm and steadfast when angry, not acting on what anger dictates. This is one point.
The second point is that we say: The anger of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was anger for the sake of Allah, and anger for the sake of Allah is praiseworthy. This is unlike anger for worldly matters, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.
