anger
When Angry While Standing, Sit Down
إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ
Transliteration
Idha ghadiba ahadukum wa huwa qa'imun falyajlis, fa-in dhahaba 'anhul-ghadabu wa illa falyadtaji'
Translation
Narrated Abu Dharr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to us, "When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down."
