حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالاَ كِلاَهُمَا؛ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ؛ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ؛ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ؛ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ

«لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ۔»
