ahmad:21348Abū Muʿāwiyah > Dāwud b. Abū Hind > Abū Ḥarb b. Abū al-Aswad > Abū al-Aswad > Abū Dhar

[Machine] He used to water his garden when a group of people came to him and he asked: "Which one of you will bring water for Abu Dhar and will estimate the number of hairs on his head?" A man said: "I will." So the man brought water for him and poured it into the basin, then he knocked on it. Abu Dhar was standing, so he sat down and then lay down. They asked him: "O Abu Dhar, why did you sit down and then lie down?" He replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "If one of you becomes angry while standing, let him sit down. If his anger goes away, well and good, otherwise let him lie down."  

أحمد:٢١٣٤٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

كَانَ يَسْقِي عَلَى حَوْضٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُورِدُ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَيَحْتَسِبُ شَعَرَاتٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَوْرَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْضَ فَدَقَّهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَائِمًا فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لِمَ جَلَسْتَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعْتَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ
