Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, asks: What do you advise the one who gets angry repeatedly and constantly in all his affairs and with his children? What do you advise him, and what is the cure for anger? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
We advise him to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and to strive against his self with forbearance. When he feels anger rising, he should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan; this is part of the cure. He should say: "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man overcome by intense anger, he said:Mishkat al-Masabih 2418.
He should frequently say: "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan" until he calms down.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
