Hadith for · anger

When angry, sit, then lie

Tuesday, September 26, 2023

إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ، فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ
Transliteration

Idha ghadiba ahadukum wa huwa qa'imun fa-l-yajlis, fa-in dhahaba anhu-l-ghadabu wa illa fa-l-yadtaji'.

Translation

When one of you becomes angry while standing, let him sit down. If the anger does not go, then let him lie down.

Narrated by Abu Dharr·Sunan Abi Dawud 4782
Reflection

Physical posture changes the chemistry. Standing escalates, sitting cools, lying flattens. A first-aid kit for the temper.

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.
