Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27023 — Reports on anger and what a man says

Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Two men reviled each other in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the eyes of one of them turned red and the veins of his neck swelled. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I know a phrase which, if this man were to say it, his anger would go away. That phrase is: 'A'udhu billahi min al-shaytan al-rajim' (I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan)." The man said: "Do you think that I am mad?"
