The hadis state various ways to diminish, prevent and control anger. One of these methods is to perform a [[wudu|ritual ablution]], a different narration states that the angry person should lie down and other narrations instruct the angry person to invoke God and seek refuge from the Devil, by reciting ''I take refuge with Allah/God from the accursed Devil.''

[[Ali]], the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad said "A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves a thousand moments of regret" and "Anger begins with madness, and ends in regret."<ref name="Path"/>
