📖Sahih al-Bukhari 6116
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , “Advise me! “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not become angry and furious.” The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said in each case, “Do not become angry and furious.”
- This hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari highlights the importance of controlling one’s temper and anger. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised the man who asked him for advice to not become angry or furious. The repetition of the advice emphasizes its significance and shows that it is crucial for Muslims to control their anger in their daily lives. Anger can lead to harmful behavior, including violence and aggression, and it can damage relationships with others. Muslims can learn from this hadith that controlling one’s temper is a key component of good character and behavior. It is important to remain patient, calm, and composed in difficult situations, and to avoid reacting in anger. Furthermore, Muslims are reminded that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the best example of how to behave in all aspects of life, including managing emotions like anger. Therefore, Muslims should strive to follow his example and teachings in all aspects of their lives, including their behavior towards others.
