## Hadith #4780

**Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Abu Dharr al-Ghaffari, Abu Harb bin Abi al-Aswad أبو حرب بن أبي الأسود الديلي, Ahmad bin Hanbal أحمد بن حنبل, Da'ud bin Abi Hnd داود بن أبي هند, Muhammad bin Khazim al-Darir محمد بن خازم أبو معاوية الضرير | **Grade:** Da'if

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. Mu’adh then began to ask him to do so, but he refused and persisted in quarrelling, and began to enhance his anger.
