The angry person is like the drunk person, not accountable for what he says.
Because anger takes away reason and veils insight.
So you see a man, in his state of anger, speaking words he regrets when his anger subsides, and doing what harms him in his religion and worldly life.
How many a man has gotten angry at his child or friend, uttered a harsh word that separated them, or committed a terrible deed that led to enmity.
The wise person is one who controls himself when angry, suppresses his rage, and recalls the consequences.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
"The strong is not the one who overcomes others, but the strong is one who controls himself at the time of anger."
So let a person take for himself a shield against anger,
by thinking about the ugliness of his appearance when angry, and the bad consequences of what he does.
If he can avoid getting angry, he is complete; otherwise, let him restrain his tongue and his hand.
