English translation

4780. It was narrated that Mu'adh bin Jabal said: "Two men reviled one another in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and one of them got so angry that I thought his nose would disintegrate out of sheer anger. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I know a word which, if he said it, the anger that he is feeling would go away.' He said: 'What is it, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'He should say: "Allāhumma, innī a'ūdhu bika min ash-shaītānir-rajīm (O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Shaitān).'" Mu'adh started telling him to say it, but he refused and persisted, and he grew even angrier. (Sahih)

Arabic text

4780 - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى خُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ أَنْفَهُ يَتَمَزَّعُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُهُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ؟» فَقَالَ: مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: " يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ " قَالَ: «فَجَعَلَ مُعَاذٌ يَأْمُرُهُ، فَأَبَى وَمَحِكَ، وَجَعَلَ يَزْدَادُ غَضَبًا»
