bukhari:6048ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > ʿAdī b. Thābit > Sulayman b. Ṣurad

A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet ﷺ and one of them became angry and his anger became so intense that his face became swollen and changed. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I know a word the saying of which will cause him to relax if he does say it." Then a man went to him and informed him of the statement of the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Seek refuge with Allah from Satan." On that, angry man said, 'Do you find anything wrong with me? Am I insane? Go away!"  

البخاري:٦٠٤٨حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ

اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى انْتَفَخَ وَجْهُهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَقَالَ أَتُرَى بِي بَأْسٌ أَمَجْنُونٌ أَنَا اذْهَبْ

bukhari:6115ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr > al-Aʿmash > ʿAdī b. Thābit > Sulaymān b. Ṣurad

Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet ﷺ while we were sitting with him. One of the two abused his companion furiously and his face became red. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I know a word (sentence) the saying of which will cause him to relax if this man says it. Only if he said, "I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the outcast.' " So they said to that (furious) man, 'Don't you hear what the Prophet ﷺ is saying?" He said, "I am not mad."

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 Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: I know a phrase by repeating which the man could get rid of the angry feelings: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil. The man said: Do you see insanity in me.

[Machine] Two men approached the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and one of them became very angry. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I know a word that, if he says it, his anger will go away. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan." The man said, "Do you think I am crazy?" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse, "And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing." [Surah Fussilat, verse 36].

اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ قُرْبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ أَحَدِهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَمَجْنُونًا تَرَانِي؟ فَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ} [فصلت 36]
