The pivot of character
0:08
The pivot, essence, and public face of a person’s character remains the abandonment of anger
0:18
And the forsaking of emotional outbursts that erode one’s morals and lead to corrupt conduct

It is recorded in the Sahih that a man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, "Advise me."
0:32
He replied, "Do not get angry," and when the man repeated the request, he said again, "Do not get angry."
0:39
If you become angry, your appearance becomes unsightly, your character becomes repulsive, and your stances become harsh
0:47
You reach a state that people cannot endure or tolerate, and you become known as someone who is contentious and stubborn

Imam Ibn al-Mubarak, may Allah have mercy on him, was once asked to summarize good character in a single word
1:03
He replied, "Abandoning anger."
1:06
Scholars have said that the Prophet, peace be upon him, encompassed the good of this world and the Hereafter in his words, "Do not get angry."
1:15
This is because anger leads to severing ties and the deprivation of gentleness, forbearance, and the absence of affection
1:21
It may even lead to harming the one who is the object of anger, which diminishes one’s religion, dissolves one’s composure and tranquility, and poisons the soul
1:31
For this reason, in another hadith, the virtuous and complete man is defined by the words: "The strong man is not the one who wrestles," meaning the one who throws others down
1:42
Rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he is angry
1:47
Peace
