حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ وَعَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُو
لُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ قَالُوا فَمَنْ الشَّدِيدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar and 'Abd al-A'la, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The strong person is not the one who wrestles [al-sur'a — who throws others in wrestling].' They said: 'Then who is the strong one, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'The one who controls himself when he is angry.'
