4784. Abū Wā'il Al-Qāṣṣ said: We entered upon 'Urwah bin Muḥammad As-Sa'dī, and a man spoke to him and made him angry. He got up and performed Wudū, then he came back having performed Wudū, and said: My father narrated to me, that my grandfather 'Atīyyah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Anger comes from the Shaitān, and the Shaitān was created from fire, and fire is extinguished by water, so if one of you gets angry, let him perform Wudū.'" (Hasan)
4784 - حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو وَائِلٍ الْقَاصُّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّعْدِيِّ، فَكَلَّمَهُ رَجُلٌ فَأَغْضَبَهُ، فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَقَدْ تَوَضَّأَ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ خُلِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَاءِ، فَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»

In the state of anger one should consciously make an effort to remain calm. Changing one's position, like from standing to sitting, for example, as well as performing Wudū, helps to abate anger.
