Summary
The hadith about the reward of heavenly maidens for a person who succeeds in restraining anger is classed as hasan. It is narrated by Abu Daud from Muaz bin Jabal RA, and Syeikh Syu'aib al-Arna'outh graded its chain as hasan. The person is called before all creation on the Day of Judgement and allowed to choose any maiden he wishes, provided he was able to act on his anger but held it back. Many other hadiths mention the merit of restraining anger, since anger gathers all kinds of evil.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
