Hadith for · anger

The strong one controls his anger

Saturday, July 12, 2003

لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ
Transliteration

Laysa-sh-shadidu bi-s-sura'ah, innama-sh-shadidu-lladhi yamliku nafsahu inda-l-ghadab.

Translation

The strong one is not the one who throws others down. The strong one is the one who controls himself when angry.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih al-Bukhari 6114, Sahih Muslim 2609
Reflection

Strength is redefined. Not muscles, not winning. The man who can pause the rising temperature in his own chest is the strong one.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
