What It Means: Reading in Context
A man repeatedly asks the Prophet for advice, and receives this same response each time. This entry quotes one occurrence of the answer from the longer exchange. The related reminder in Bukhari 6114 speaks about self-control during anger. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6116. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
REFLECTION · EDITORIAL
Notice the moment before anger becomes a hurtful word or action. Pause, lower your voice or step away so that you can respond more deliberately.
This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
