100 - Anger is a bad characteristic

عن أبي هريرة : أنَّ رَجُلًا قالَ للنبيِّ ﷺ: أوْصِنِي، قَالَ: «لَا تَغْضَبْ»، فَرَدَّدَ مِرَارًا، قَالَ: «لَا تَغْضَبْ».

Abu Hurayrah narrated that: 

1. A man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) to counsel him.  

2. The Prophet said to him: ‘Do not give way to anger’.  

3. The man repeated his request several times, and the Prophet [always] said to him: ‘Do not give way to anger’.

Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī

Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī embraced Islam in the year in which the Battle of Khaybar took place, i.e. Year 7 of the Hijri calendar. He was the Prophet’s companion who narrated the largest number of his hadiths, because he committed himself to remain close to the Prophet. He was keen to learn the Prophet’s hadiths and he remained for a long time in Madinah. He died in Year 58 AH, 678 CE.
