حَدَّثَنَا بَکْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو وَائِلٍ الْقَاصُّ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَی عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّعْدِيِّ فَکَلَّمَهُ رَجُلٌ فَأَغْضَبَهُ فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَقَدْ تَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ خُلِقَ مِنْ النَّارِ وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَائِ فَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4784
Narrated Atiyyah as-Saadi: Abu Wail al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn as-Saadi. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said: My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.
