قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمْ الصُّرَعَةَ قَالَ قُلْنَا الَّذِي لَا يَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ الصُّرَعَةُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ
English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) that he said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What do you consider among yourselves to be al-sura'a [the strong man/wrestler]? We said: The one whom men cannot throw down [in wrestling]. He said: No — al-sura'a is the one who controls himself when angry.'
