Anger is approached here through those of the Children of Israel who incurred divine wrath, such as those who worshipped the calf, and the misfortune of the one with whom Allah is angry. The verses also relate why Moses and Jonah became angry, and praise those whose anger does not drive them to excess.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."
