Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 434
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ، رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا، فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى انْتَفَخَ وَجْهُهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ: تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، وَقَالَ: أَتَرَى بِي بَأْسًا، أَمَجْنُونٌ أَنَا؟ اذْهَبْ.

‘Umar narrated to us: My father narrated to us: al-A‘mash narrated to us: ‘Adi ibn Thabit said: I heard Sulayman ibn Surad, a man among the Prophet’s Companions, say: Two men reviled one another in the presence of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and one of them became angry. His anger grew so intense that his face swelled and changed. The Prophet said: I know words which, if he says them, will make what he feels go away. A man went to him and told him what the Prophet had said, saying, ‘Seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.’ He replied, ‘Do you think something is wrong with me? Am I mad? Go away!’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source shifts from the words of the Prophet to the man who relays them to the angry person; the response ‘Am I mad? Go away!’ belongs to the angry man.
