حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ " قَالُوا: فَمَنِ الشَّدِيدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ " (١)،
