No. 6311
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: Whom do you count as" Raqub" amongst you? They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive). Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: He is not a Raqub but Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He then said: Whom do you count as a wrestler amongst you? We said: He who wrestles with persons. He said: No, it is not he but one who controls himself when in a fit of rage.

Sulaiman b. Surad reported that two persons abused each other in the presence of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and the eyes of one of them became red as embers and the veins of his neck were swollen. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I know of a wording, if he were to utter that, his fit of rage (would be no more and that wording is): I seek refuge with Allaah from Satan the accursed. The person said: Do you find any madness in me? Ibn al-'Ala' said: Do you see it? And he made no mention of the person.

Sulaiman b. Surad reported that two persons abused each other in the presence of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and one of them fell into a rage and his face became red. Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) saw him and said: I know of a wording; if he were to utter that, he would get out (of the fit of anger) (and the wording is): I seek refuge with Allaah from Satan, the accursed. Thereupon, a person went to him who had heard that from Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said to him: Do you know what Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said? He (the Prophet) said: I know of a wording; if he were to say that, (the fit) would be no more (and the words are): I seek refuge with Allaah from Satan, the accursed. And the person said to him: Do you find me mad?
