حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّی خُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ أَنْفَهُ يَتَمَزَّعُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ کَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُهُ مِنْ الْغَضَبِ فَقَالَ مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ مُعَاذٌ يَأْمُرُهُ فَأَبَی وَمَحِکَ وَجَعَلَ يَزْدَادُ غَضَبًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4780
Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: Two men reviled each other in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and one of them became excessively angry so much so that I thought that his nose will break up on account of excess of anger. The Prophet ﷺ said: I know a phrase which, if he repeated, he could get rid of this angry feeling. They asked: What is it, Messenger of Allah? He replied: He should say: I seek refuge in Thee from the accursed devil. Muadh then began to ask him to do so, but he refused and persisted in quarrelling, and began to enhance his anger.
