The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,250
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

3
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:12,250
that a man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

4
00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:14,250
"Advise me."

5
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:17,250
He replied, "Do not become angry."

6
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:19,250
The man repeated his request several times,

7
00:00:19,250 --> 00:00:22,250
and he replied, "Do not become angry."

8
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:24,379
It was recorded by al-Bukhari.

9
00:00:24,379 --> 00:00:31,329
This hadith highlights the greatness of the virtue of forbearance and self-restraint,

10
00:00:31,329 --> 00:00:35,329
and that anger is the root of many evils and sins.

11
00:00:35,329 --> 00:00:40,329
Through anger, a person falls into injustice, severing ties, and regret.

12
00:00:40,329 --> 00:00:43,390
It is for this reason that the Prophet, peace be upon him, advised

13
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:45,390
avoiding the causes of anger,

14
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:48,390
and struggling against one's self when it occurs,

15
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:50,390
not by suppressing the feeling itself,

16
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:54,390
but by restraining its effects and acting with wisdom.
