Mu`adh bin Anas (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said:
The one who suppresses anger in spite of possessing the power to give effect to his anger, will be called out by Allah, the Exalted to the forefront of the creatures on the Resurrection Day and will be put to option about any pure-eyed virgin, he will like.
(Reported by Al-Tirmidhi)
