I appologize for not quoting the sources of this hadith... because I can't seem to locate it right now...

This hadith may help you control your anger...

In my own words: Once a man came to abu bakr and rose many allegations against him.... and abu bakr remained quiet while this man continued to insult abu bakr. At this, the prophet kept smiling... Once the man stoped insulting abu bakr.... Abu Bakr started to reply to that man... and upon seeing this... Prophet sws got up and walked away.

When abu bakr saw that prophet had left... he got up as well and caught up to him and asked him why did he leave when abu bakr spoke and smiled when that man was insulting abu bakr.

Prophet sws said, when you remained quiet... there was an angel sitting next to you and he was talking on your behalf... the angel was saying you are more deserving of the name you are calling abu bakr... and because the prophet saw that with his own eyes... he was smiling. And when abu bakr started to speak for himself... the angel left and shataan replaced him and started whispering evil thoughts to promote a fight and animosity between you two. So when prophet sws saw this... he left, because he didnt want to be in the accompany of the shataans.

May Allah forgive me if I have made any mistakes in this... if anyone know of this hadith.. please find the source for me.

But the point is... that this hadith in mind will prevent you from getting angry, if you know there is an angel by your side defending you... so you dont have to defend yourself and cause fitnah.

Allah knows best.

Ma'salaama,
Hamid

Quoting what brother Digital Storm said:




FORGIVENESS AND SELF-RESTRAINT

To pardon the guilty and the offender and to refuse to take revenge are among the virtues that are closely related to soft-heartedness. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), himself, did the same and exhorted his followers, also, to act in like manner.

It is related by Abu Hurairah (R.A.) that “(once) a person abused Abu Bakr (RadhiAllaahu anhu - may Allaah Almighty be pleased with him), and the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was sitting (there), (at that time), and he felt amazed and was smiling (at the behaviour of both), (with the man abusing Abu Bakr (R.A.) continuously and the latter bearing it with patience).

But when that person went on with it, Abu Bakr (R.A.), also, returned some of the invectives. The Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), thereupon, left the place in some anger. Feeling greatly perturbed, Abu Bakr (R.A.) went after the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) to find out the reason of his annoyance and apologise. As Abu Bakr (R.A.) met the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) , he said: ‘ O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)! How is that you remained sitting when the man was hurling abuses at me, without end, but when I too, said something, you got angry and departed from the place?’

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: ‘An angel of Allah was with you and replying on your behalf as long as you kept quiet and showed patience, but when you started paying him back (in his own coin), the angel went away and the Devil came in, (on seeing an opportunity to add fuel to the fire).’ After it, the Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) observed: O Abu Bakr (R.A.)! There are three things that are absolutely true: One, if an injustice is done to anyone and he forgives it solely for the sake of Allah (and does not take revenge), Allah will support him, in all respects, in return for it (and raise him in esteem both in this world and the next); two , whoever opens the door of giving to others and showing kindness to kinsmen, Allah will bestow prosperity upon him and multiply his wealth: and, three, whoever will open the door of begging (not out of need), but for adding to his wealth, Allah will cause a further diminution in his possessions.’”

(narrated in Musnad Ahmad)


Commentary: Though it is permissible to take revenge with justice, a better and nobler thing is to forgive, for the sake of Allah, even when one has the power to avenge oneself. Since Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) was regarded with special favour by the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), he did not like him to say anything, by way of a retort, to the offender.​



Allaah Almighty says in the Quran:

"He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss): Therein will they have abundance without measure. (Qur''an 40:40)
