حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرَجُلاَنِ يَسْتَبَّانِ، فَأَحَدُهُمَا احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وَانْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم "
إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ، لَوْ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ. ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ ". فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ". فَقَالَ وَهَلْ بِي جُنُونٌ
Sulaymān ibn Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I was sitting with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when two men started to insult each other, and the face of one of them turned red and his jugular veins got swollen. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, I know a word; if he said it, his rage would go away. If he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the devil, his rage would go away." They said to him: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seek refuge with Allah from the devil." Thereupon he said: Am I mad?
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 3282, 6115), Muslim (No. 2610a, 2610b), Abu Dawud (No. 4781) and Ahmad (No. 25948).
Two men cursed and insulted each other in the presence of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and the face of one of them turned red and the veins surrounding his neck became swollen.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, I know a word; if this angry man said it, his anger would go away. If he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil.
They said to him: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seek refuge with Allah from the devil.
Thereupon he said: Am I mad? thinking that only the mad seek refuge with Allah from the devil.
Lessons
Keenness of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on providing guidance and instruction when there is a reason for it.
Anger is from the devil.
The command to seek refuge with Allah from the devil when angry, as Allah Almighty says: {If you are tempted by Satan, seek refuge with Allah...}
Warning against abuse and curses and criticizing them because they lead to hostilities between people.
Advice should be conveyed to those who did not hear it so that they would benefit from it.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned against anger because it leads to evil and recklessness, and he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never got angry unless the prohibitions of Allah Almighty were violated, which is praiseworthy anger.
Commenting on "Do you see any madness in me?" An-Nawawi said: It is probable that the sayer was from the hypocrites or the rude Bedouins.
Explanation in Arabic

فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: إني لأعلم كلمةً لو يقولها هذا الغضبانُ لَذَهَبَ عنه الغضب، لو قال: أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم.
فقالوا له: إنّ النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: تَعَوَّذ بالله من الشيطان.
فقال: أَمَجنون أنا؟! وظَنّ أنه لا يستعيذ من الشيطان إلا مَن به جنون.

نقل النصيحة لمن لم يسمعها لينتفع بما فيها.
حذَّرَ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من الغضب؛ لأنه يدفع إلى الشر والتَّهَوُّر، وكان صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يغضب إلا أنْ تُنْتَهَك حُرُماتُ الله تعالى، وهو الغضب المحمود.
