CURE FOR ANGER

46

“Sulaiman was sitting with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, when two men began to quarrel. One of them became red in the face and the veins of his neck stood out. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘If he repeats a phrase I know, he would be rid of the condition in which he finds himself. The phrase is, 'I seek refuge with Allah from satan, the one who is stoned.' So they told him, ‘The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, says, 'Seek refuge with Allah from satan, the stoned.'”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Sulaiman son of Surad who related this.
