Anger.
0:12
Anger is a live coal ignited in the heart of the son of Adam.
0:15
It drives him toward recklessness and committing evil.
0:18
For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:22
"The strong person is not the one who can wrestle others down;
0:25
rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself when angry."
0:29
Agreed upon.
0:31
And he said to the man who asked him for advice:
0:34
"Do not become angry."
0:36
He repeated this several times.
0:38
He said, "Do not become angry."
0:40
However, this prohibited anger
0:43
is that which is for one's own sake, seeking vengeance when one is harmed.
0:48
As for anger out of zeal for the sacred boundaries of Allah when they are violated,
0:52
that is not vengeance for one's own sake.
0:55
Rather, it is what drives a person to defend and protect the sacred boundaries of Allah.
1:00
As ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said regarding the Prophet, peace be upon him:
1:06
"The Messenger of Allah never took revenge for his own sake,
1:09
unless a sacred boundary of Allah was violated,
1:12
in which case he would take revenge for the sake of Allah."
1:15
Agreed upon.
