Chapter on encouragement to suppress anger and avoid rage
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9169 — on encouragement to suppress anger and avoid
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((مَا مِنْ جَرْعَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ جَرْعَةِ غَيْظٍ يَكْظِمُهَا عَبْدٌ مَا كَظَمَهَا عَبْدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا مَلَأَ اللَّهُ جَوْفَهُ إِيمَانًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no gulp more beloved to Allah Almighty than the gulp of anger which a servant swallows. When a servant swallows such a gulp for the sake of Allah Almighty, Allah fills his heart with faith.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Allah, the Exalted, while describing the qualities of the pious, said: {الَّذِیْنَیُنْفِقُوْنَ فِی السَّرَّاء ِ وَالضَّرَّاء ِ وَالْکٰظِمِیْنَ الْغَیْظَ وَالْعَافِیْنَ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَاللّٰہُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۔} … those who spend (in charity) in prosperity and adversity, and those who restrain their anger and pardon the people; and Allah loves the doers of good. (Surah Aal-e-Imran: 134)
