It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who overpowers others in wrestling is not strong and brave; rather, the strong and brave one is he who controls himself when he is angry." (Imam) Malik has narrated this hadith through five narrators as follows: Qanabi said «عن مالك» (from Malik); Ibn Yusuf said «انبانا مالك» (Malik informed us); Ibn Safir said «حدثني مالك» (Malik narrated to me); Ibn Bukair said «ثنا مالك» (Malik narrated to us); and Ibn Wahb said «اخبرني مالك» (Malik informed me). Muslim bin Hajjaj has also narrated it in a similar manner from Yahya bin Sa'id and Abdullah bin Hammad with his chain, both of whom said: «قرأت على مالك» (I recited to Malik).
