Here is one incentive to control your anger you will likely never forget
(inshā’ Allāh):
Mu’ādh
bin Anas al-Juhanī relates from his father that the Messenger (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said, “Whoever controls and conceals
his anger despite being able to vent it (verbally and physically), Allāh will
call him out on the Day of Judgement in front of all the creation and grant him
a choice of any Ḥouri he pleases.” Ṣaḥīḥ. Refer to Ṣaḥīḥ Sunan
al-Tirmidhī of al-Albānī (no. 2021).
Ibrāhīm al-Taymī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said, “I was shown in a dream
as if a river was presented to me
and it was said to me: Drink [and quench your thirst] due to your patience, for
you were of those who suppressed [their anger].” Al-Sabr of Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (no.82).
