The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.250
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:12.250
that a man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:14.250
"Advise me."

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:17.250
He replied, "Do not become angry."

00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:19.250
The man repeated his request several times,

00:00:19.250 --> 00:00:22.250
and he replied, "Do not become angry."

00:00:22.250 --> 00:00:24.379
It was recorded by al-Bukhari.

00:00:24.379 --> 00:00:31.329
This hadith highlights the greatness of the virtue of forbearance and self-restraint,

00:00:31.329 --> 00:00:35.329
and that anger is the root of many evils and sins.

00:00:35.329 --> 00:00:40.329
Through anger, a person falls into injustice, severing ties, and regret.

00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:43.390
It is for this reason that the Prophet, peace be upon him, advised

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:45.390
avoiding the causes of anger,

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:48.390
and struggling against one's self when it occurs,

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.390
not by suppressing the feeling itself,

00:00:50.390 --> 00:00:54.390
but by restraining its effects and acting with wisdom.
