Silsilah as-Sahihah 2856 — Reward for Controlling Anger, Apologizing

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever controls his anger, Allah Almighty will withhold His punishment from him. Whoever guards his tongue, Allah Almighty will conceal his faults. And whoever seeks forgiveness from Allah Almighty, He will accept his excuse."
