Dealing with Anger

Sayyiduna Abu Dhar رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to us,

“If one of you is angry when he is standing, let him sit down so that the anger will leave him. Otherwise, let him lie down.”

(Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4782)

Dua when you become angry

Expect good from Allah

Hayyan Abi al-Nadrah reported: I went out to visit Yazid ibn al-Aswad as he was suffering a fatal illness, and I met Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ رضي الله عنه who also wanted to visit him. We entered Yazid’s home and Wathilah رضى الله عنه said, “What do you expect from Allah?” Yazid said, “By Allah, I expect good from Allah.”

Sayyiduna Wathilah رضي الله عنه said:

Rejoice! For I heard the Messenger of Allah  صلى الله عليه وسلم say that Allah Almighty said:_

I am as my servant expects me. If he expects good, he will have it. If he expects evil, he will have it.

(Sahih Ibn Hibban 641)

Fear Allah

Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه narrates:

Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“The most hated speech to Allah is when a man says to another man, ‘Fear Allah!’ And he replies, ‘Worry about your own self!”

(Amalul Yawmi Wal Laylah, As Sunanul Kubra) 

Qiyamah

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“The Hour/Qiyamah will not be established until time passes rapidly, such that a year is like a month, a month is like a week, a week is like a day, a day is like an hour, and an hour is like the flicker of a flame.”

(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2332)

7 Shuhada

Sayyiduna Jabir ibn ‘Ateek رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“There are seven martyrs besides one who is killed in the path of Allah:

(1) the victim of plague is a martyr, 

(2) the one who drowns is a martyr, 

(3) the one who dies of chest pain is a martyr, 

(4) the one who dies of stomach infection is a martyr, 

(5) the one who burns to death is a martyr, 

(6) the one who is crushed under something is a martyr, 

(7) and the pregnant woman who dies whilst giving birth is a martyr.”

(Sunan Abi Dawud 3111)
