4781. It was narrated that Sulaimān bin Ṣurad said: "Two men reviled one another in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and the eyes of one of them started to turn red, and his jugular vein began to swell. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I know a word which, if this man said it, that which he is feeling would go away: "A'ūdhu billāhi min ash-shaitānir-raḵīm (I seek refuge with Allāh from the accursed Shaitān).'" The man said: "Do you think I am possessed?" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
4781 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا تَحْمَرُّ عَيْنَاهُ وَتَنْتَفِخُ أَوْدَاجُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا هَذَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ " فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: هَلْ تَرَى بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ؟

Extreme anger over personal matters is from the promptings of Shaitān, while anger for the sake of Allāh is part of faith.
