"إِنِّى لأَعلمُ كلمةً لوْ قالها لذهبَ عنْه ما يجدُ، لو قال: أَعوذُ باللَّهِ من الشيطانِ الرجيم ذهبَ عنْه ما يجدُ".

Collected by al-Adab al-Mufrad, Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī"I seek refuge with Allah from the Accursed Shaytan."' The man went to that man and said, 'Do you know what he said? He said, "I seek refuge with Allah from the Accursed Shaytan."' The man retorted. 'Do you think me mad?'"
اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَغْضَبُ وَيَحْمَرُّ وَجْهُهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ هَذَا عَنْهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ذَاكَ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ تَدْرِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَمَجْنُونًا تَرَانِي؟
A variant of the previous hadith.
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَجُلاَنِ يَسْتَبَّانِ فَأَحَدُهُمَا احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وَانْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ قَالَ وَهَلْ بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ؟
Seeking refuge from Satan purges anger
I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when two men were insulting each other. One of them became red in the face and the veins of his neck swelled. The Prophet ﷺ said: “I know a word which, if he were to say it, what he is experiencing would go away. If he were to say: ‘I seek refuge in Allah from Satan,’ what he is experiencing would go away.” They said to him, “The Prophet ﷺ says: Seek refuge in Allah from Satan.” He replied, “Am I insane?”
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَجُلاَنِ يَسْتَبَّانِ، فَأَحَدُهُمَا احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، وَانْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ، لَوْ قَالَ (أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ) ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ» فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَقَالَ: وَهَلْ بِي جُنُونٌ؟
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."
اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ جُلُوسٌ وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَسُبُّ صَاحِبَهُ مُغْضَبًا قَدِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ لَوْ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ بِمَجْنُونٍ
I know of a wording, if he were to utter that, his fit of rage (would be no more and that wording is): I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed. The person said: Do you find any madness in me? Ibn al-'Ala' said: Do you see it? And he made no mention of the person.
اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا تَحْمَرُّ عَيْنَاهُ وَتَنْتَفِخُ أَوْدَاجُهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَهَلْ تَرَى بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْعَلاَءِ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ تَرَى وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الرَّجُلَ
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.
اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا تَحْمَرُّ عَيْنَاهُ وَتَنْتَفِخُ أَوْدَاجُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا هَذَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ هَلْ تَرَى بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ لِمَنِ اعْتَرَاهُ الْغَضَبُ
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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6115)
اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ جُلُوسٌ وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَسُبُّ صَاحِبَهُ مُغْضَبًا قَدِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ» فَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ بِمَجْنُونٍ
مَا أَسْنَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدَ
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ heard two men conversing, one of them was becoming angrier and angrier. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I know a word, if he were to say it, the Satan would depart from him." The man approached the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Tell me, seek refuge in Allah from Satan."
سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلَيْنِ وَهُمَا يَتَقَاوَلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا يَغْضَبُ فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ» فَأَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ
