There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had dri
ven
37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to
control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled
down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same again!"
Remember when you say things in anger,
they leave a permanent scar!

RasoolAllah (sallAllahu ályhi wasallam) said,
"Anger is from the devil, the devil is created of fire, and fire is extinguished only by water; so if anyone of you gets angry, let him perform ablution."
(Ahmad)
Today many psychologists advise patients suffering from anxiety or going through fits of rage to use hydrotherapy (water therapy). The amazing calming effects of water has been scientifically proven and is used all over the world.

Praise be to the One who made us Muslims, and the ummah of Muhammad (sallAllahu ályhi wasallam). May he protect us from anger and bad temper problems.
