اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ حَصْبَةَ أَوْ أَبِي حَصْبَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ ((تَدْرُونَ مَا الصُّرَعَةُ)) قَالَ قَالُوا الْصَّرِيعُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((الصُّرَعَةُ كُلُّ الصُّرَعَةِ الصُّرَعَةُ كُلُّ الصُّرَعَةِ الرَّجُلُ يَغْضَبُ فَيَشْتَدُّ غَضَبُهُ وَيَحْمَرُّ وَجْهُهُ وَيَقْشَعِرُّ شَعْرُهُ فَيَصْرَعُ غَضَبَهُ وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَاءِ))
Ibn Hisbah or Abu Hisbah narrates from a companion who was present at the time of the address of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do you know who the real wrestler is? They said: The one who throws others down. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The real wrestler, the greatest wrestler, is the person who, when anger comes upon him and his anger becomes intense, his face turns red and his hair stands on end, but he controls his anger. And indeed, fire is extinguished only with water.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … People consider a physically strong and powerful person to be a wrestler, but in the light of Islamic Shariah, the real wrestler is the one who controls his emotions at the time of anger and does not take any action for which he would later feel regret. Just as ordinary people, in a state of anger, overcome by satanic and frenzied emotions, cause themselves great harm and then begin to shed tears of remorse.
Allah Ta’ala has described the quality of the pious as those who swallow their anger and forgive people. The importance of swallowing anger can be easily understood from the following hadith.
