Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 54
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ السَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ كَظَمَ غَيْظاً إِلا زَادَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِزّاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَقَدْ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْكاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَالله يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَأَثَابَهُ الله مَكَانَ غَيْظِهِ ذَلِكَ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from certain individuals of his people from Malik ibn Hasin al-Sakuni who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘If a servant (of Allah) suppresses his anger, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, increases his respect in this world and in the next world. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, “. . . who also harness their anger and forgive the people. Allah loves the righteous ones.” (3:134) Allah will give them such rewards; they had suppressed their anger.’”
