Chain (isnad): حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو وَائِلٍ الْقَاصُّ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّعْدِيِّ فَكَلَّمَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَأَغْضَبَهُ ، فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَقَدْ تَوَضَّأَ ، فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ خُلِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ ، فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ

Translation: Narrated Atiyyah as-Sa'di: AbuWa'il al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn as-Sa'di. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said: My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution (hadith-api (Darussalam / Hamidullah…))
