[Machine] Two men argued in front of the Prophet (PBUH) and one of them became angry. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Indeed, I know a word that, if he were to say it, his anger would go away. I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan."  

أحمد:٢٢١١١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ

اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

Two men reviled each other in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. Then the eyes of one of them became red and his jugular veins swelled.

The man said: Do you see insanity in me.
