(Book 47, Hadith 12) #36696
Strength in Self-Control

SUMMARY: Controlling one's anger is a sign of strength.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al- Musayyab from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A strong person is not the person who throws his adversaries to the ground. A strong person is the person who contains himself when he is angry".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of controlling one's anger. It teaches us that true strength lies not in overpowering others but rather in being able to control oneself and remain calm even when faced with difficult situations. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his patience and self control even when he was wronged or insulted. He taught us that it is better to forgive than to seek revenge and that it takes more courage and strength to be able to forgive than it does to fight back. This hadith serves as a reminder for us all that we should strive towards self control no matter how hard the situation may be.
