Summary
There are several hadiths that mention the prohibition of anger, including the narration in al-Bukhari where the Prophet SAW advised a man "do not be angry", and the narration in Abu Dawud advising an angry person to perform ablution. Anger is a natural human emotion, so a believer must manage it well and with patience. Praiseworthy anger is permitted, for example when Islam is mocked by its enemies. Ways to control it include patience, diverting thoughts, expressing it in a controlled manner and remembrance of Allah.
