My husband is physically very strong, but emotionally even stronger. He does not fight back when somebody calls him names, he does not talk badly about them, and if I slip up and say something wrong he reminds me that to forgive is better and getting angry is pointless. What do you think about men who are emotionally strong? Especially based on this?
"“The strong man is not the one who can wrestle another to the ground; the strong man is the one who can control himself when he is angry.” (Reported by Ahmad, 2/236. The hadeeth is agreed upon).
The more angry a person gets, the more highly valued is his self-control. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“The real strong man is the one who gets intensely angry, so that his face reddens and his hair stands on end, but he suppresses his anger.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 5/367; classed as hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3859).
