Abu Taymiyyah – What To Quickly do When You Get Angry

Abu Dharr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu was one time

infuriated

by an individual who broke his

fountain.

And then SubhanAllah,

Falamma kana Abu Dharr.

Ta'iman after Abu Dharr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu was

standing and this individual came and he infuriated

him by doing whatever he did. He

sat down and not only did he just

sit down, after sitting down he went and

lied down as well. And then he was

asked,

Why

did you sit and then after that you

lied down? He said, I heard the Messenger

SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam say,

If any of you become angry, then let

him sit.

If his anger does not disappear, then let

him go and sit down. SubhanAllah. He was

infuriated.

He allowed somebody to use that which belonged

to him, and after being kind to this

individual, what did he end up doing? He

ended up breaking it. SubhanAllah. And look how

my brothers and my sisters they live the

teaching of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

He becomes angry and he goes and sits

down. And then his anger still never disappeared.

But then what did he do? He ended

up rushing to lying down because this was

the prophetic

teaching of the Prophet Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam.
