Quran
وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ
"And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive."
Surah Ash-Shura · 42:37
This verse directly addresses anger management by praising those who forgive when angered, establishing forgiveness as the prophetic response to anger.
الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
"Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good."
Surah Al-Imran · 3:134
This verse prescribes the specific virtue of restraining anger (al-kazimine al-ghayz) as a characteristic of believers deserving Paradise, making it a core treatment principle.
خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ
"Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant."

Sahih Hadith
أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْصِنِي. قَالَ لاَ تَغْضَبْ فَرَدَّدَ مِرَارًا قَالَ لاَ تَغْضَبْ
"A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ): 'Advise me.' The Prophet said: 'Do not become angry.' The man repeated his request several times, and the Prophet said: 'Do not become angry.'"
This hadith identifies anger control as the Prophet's singular repeated advice, establishing it as foundational to Islamic character and spiritual health.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down.'"
This hadith provides specific postural therapy for anger management, using physical position changes to interrupt and dissipate the physiological state of anger.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ خُلِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَإِنَّمَا تُطْفَأُ النَّارُ بِالْمَاءِ فَإِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Anger comes from the devil, and the devil was created from fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.'"
This hadith prescribes wudu (ablution) as a specific cooling remedy to extinguish anger by countering its hot, fiery temperament through water application.

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb
Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 1, Fann 2, Doctrine 3, Chapter on the Temperaments of the Soul (Mizaj al-Nafs) — Ibn Sina analyzes anger (ghadab) as excess heat and bile in the heart, recommending cooling foods, avoidance of wine and hot spices, and cultivation of hilm (forbearance) through philosophical contemplation and regulation of the sanguine temperament.
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on the Prophetic Guidance in Treating Anger (Ghadab) — Ibn al-Qayyim details the Prophet's multi-level treatment: spiritual (seeking refuge from Satan, remembering Allah's power), physical (ablution, postural change), and behavioral (silence, avoiding the provocateur), treating anger as a satanic fire requiring immediate cooling interventions.
