English translation

2020. Abū Hurairah narrated that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Teach me something that is not too much for me so that, perhaps, I may abide by it." He ﷺ said: "Do not get angry." He repeated that (the request) a number of times, each time he replied: "Do not get angry." (Sāhiḥ)[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Saʿeed and Sulaimān bin Ṣurad. This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route. Abū Ḥaṣin's (a narrator) name is 'Uthmān bin ʿĀṣim Al-Asadī.

Arabic text

٢٠٢٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَصِينٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ» إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا وَلَا تُكْثِرْ عَلَيَّ؛ لَعَلِّي أَعِيهِ، قَالَ: لَا تَغْضَبْ، فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: لَا تَغْضَبْ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَأَبُو حَصِينٍ اسْمُهُ: عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ.

Commentary

It seems the man was short-tempered. That is why, in spite of his repeated pleading, he gave him the same piece of advice. It is because anger is an extremely dangerous trait fraught with fearful results.
