Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there was a heated argument between two men, and one of them became so angry that even now, in my imagination, I can see his nose which had turned red due to anger. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), seeing his condition, said: "I know a word which, if this man afflicted with anger were to say, his anger would go away, and that word is «اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم.»."

It is narrated from Hazrat Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the Battle of the Trench (upon returning): "Now we will advance upon them and fight, and they will never be able to advance against us again."

Rifa’ah bin Shaddad says that once I went to Mukhtar, he placed a cushion for me and said, “If my brother Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him, had not gotten up from this, I would have placed this cushion for you.” At that time, I was standing by Mukhtar’s head. When it became clear to me that he was a liar, by Allah, I intended to draw my sword and cut off his neck. But then I remembered a hadith which Sulaiman bin Surad, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to me, that I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “Whoever grants safety to a Muslim regarding his life first, then he should not kill him.” Therefore, I did not consider it appropriate to kill him.
