1)Seeking Refuge With Allah from Shaytaan
Sulaiman bin Surd said "While I was sitting in the company of the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), two men abused each other and the face of one of them became red with anger, and his jugular veins swelled (i.e. he became furious). On that the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "I know a word, the saying of which will cause him to relax, if he does say it. If he said, “A’oodhu billaahi min al-shaytaan (I seek refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan),”, this [anger] would go away"
Sahih Al Bukhari, The Book of the Beginning of Creation,
Hadith no.:3060
2)Resisting anger is one of the signs of righteousness (taqwaa).
The righteous (al-muttaqoon) are those praised by Allaah in the Qur'aan and by His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Paradise as wide as heaven and earth has been prepared for them.
"And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious".(Aali Imran 3:133)
"Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good doers)". (Aali Imran 3:134)
"And those who avoid the greater sins[], and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and when they are angry, they forgive[]" (Ash-Shura 42:37)
