Curbing Anger - Hadith 16

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم أَوْصِنِي. قَالَ: لَا تَغْضَبْ، فَرَدَّدَ مِرَارًا، قَالَ: لَا تَغْضَبْ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah radiyAllāhu Anhu that a man said to RasūlAllāh ﷺ: “Give me counsel.”

He replied: “Do not be angry”.

The man kept asking [the same question] a number of times and RasūlAllāh ﷺ said:

“Do not be angry”.
