عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ :
" عَلِّمُوا ، وَيَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا ، وَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْكُتْ ، وَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْكُتْ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ ثِقَاتٌ ؛ لِأَنَّ لَيْثًا صَرَّحَ بِالسَّمَاعِ مِنْ طَاوُسٍ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Teach, make things easy and do not make them difficult. When one of you becomes angry, he should fall silent; when one of you becomes angry, he should fall silent."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it. The narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy), because the narrator Layth explicitly stated that he heard it from Tawus.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - :
" لَوْ يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا غَضِبَ : أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ، ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ غَضَبُهُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ وَفِي بَعْضِهِمْ خِلَافٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person becomes angry, if at that moment he says 'A'udhu billahi min al-shaytan al-rajim' (I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed), his anger will leave him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is a difference of opinion about some of them.

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه الطبراني فى المعجم الصغير (1021)»
وَعَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : كَانَ يَسْقِي عَلَى حَوْضٍ ، فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ : أَيُّكُمْ يُورِدُ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، وَيَحْتَسِبُ شُعَيْرَاتٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَنَا . فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَوْرَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْضَ ، فَدَقَّهُ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَائِمًا ، فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : لِمَ جَلَسْتَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعْتَ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ لَنَا :
" إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ ، فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ ، وَإِلَّا فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ " .
قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِاخْتِصَارِ الْقِصَّةِ ، وَدُونَ ذِكْرِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Abu al-Aswad reports this about Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him): He was watering (his animals) at a trough when some people came, and it was said: "Which of you will bring his animals to water at Abu Dharr's trough and be ready to lose a few hairs of his head?" A man said: "I will." The man came, brought his animals to the trough and broke it. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing; he sat down and then lay down. He was asked: "Why did you first sit down and then lie down?" He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "When one of you becomes angry while he is standing, he should sit down; if his anger leaves him, well and good, otherwise he should lie down."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded it with the story shortened and without mentioning Abu al-Aswad.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
