Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: Two men reviled each other in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and one of them became excessively angry so much so that I thought that his nose will break up on account of excess of anger. The Prophet ﷺ said: I know a phrase which, if he repeated, he could get rid of this angry feeling. They asked: What is it, Messenger of Allah? He replied: He should say: I seek refuge in Thee from the accursed devil. Muadh then began to ask him to do so, but he refused and persisted in quarrelling, and began to enhance his anger.

´Mu`adh bin Jabal narrated :` that one of the two men cursed the other next to the Prophet (ﷺ), until anger could be recognized in the face of one of them. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Verily, I know a statement, that if he were to say it, his anger would leave: ‘I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the rejected (A`ūdhu billāhi minash-shaiṭānir-rajīm).’”
