Narrated Sulayman ibn Surad said, "Two men abused one another in the presence
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and one of them
began to get angry and his face got red. The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, looked at him and said, 'I know some words that, if
he says the:
"I seek refuge with
Allah from the Accursed Shaytan."' The man went to that man and said, 'Do
you know what he said? He said, "I seek refuge with Allah from the Accursed
Shaytan."' The man retorted. 'Do you think me mad?'"
Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, ' Teach and make it easy. Teach and make it
easy.' three times. He went on, 'When you are angry, be silent' twice."
Ibn 'Umar said, "There is nothing that is swallowed greater with
Allah in reward than a slave of Allah who swallows and contains his rancour
out of desire for the pleasure of Allah."
