"Those who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship" (Quran 3:134), meaning: in times of prosperity and adversity. "And who restrain anger" (Quran 3:134). Muhammad said: The root of al-kazm (restraining) is containment.
Yahya [narrated] from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, from Safwan ibn Sulaym, from Ata' ibn Yasar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'No one has ever swallowed a gulp that is better for him than a gulp of anger.'
﴿الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ﴾ أَي: فِي الْيُسْر والعسر (ل ٥٢) ﴿والكاظمين الغيظ﴾ قَالَ مُحَمَّد: أصل الكظم: الْحَبْس.
يَحْيَى: عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ: ((مَا جَرَعَ أَحَدٌ جَرْعَةً خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ جَرْعَةِ غَيْظٍ)).
