- "Whoever restrains his anger, Allāh will withhold His punishment from him. Whoever guards his tongue, Allāh will conceal his faults. Whoever seeks forgiveness from Allāh, Allāh will accept his excuse." This was recorded by Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (3/1071) and through his route by al-Ḍiyāʾ in "al-Mukhtārah" (249/2), al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (1/194 and 195 and 2/44), and Abū ʿUthmān al-Najīrmī in "al-Fawāʾid" (44/2) from al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān who said: Abū ʿAmr, the client of Anas ibn Mālik, narrated to me that he heard Anas ibn Mālik say: "And he mentioned it as a marfūʿ ḥadīth."

It was mentioned in "al-Mīzān" and "al-Lisān" as it came in Ibn Abī Ḥātim and al-Bukhārī: "Rabīʿ ibn Sulaym al-Kūfī from Abū ʿUmar (thus) the client of Anas as marfūʿ (and he mentioned the ḥadīth), narrated from him by Yazīd ibn al-Ḥabbāb, and this is in 'Musnad Ibn Abī Shaybah.'" Al-Azdī said: It is munkar al-ḥadīth. Ibn Maʿīn said: It is nothing. Abū Ḥātim said: A shaykh." I said: And it is with Abū Yaʿlá from the route of Ibn Abī Shaybah al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān as previously mentioned. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned it in "al-ʿIlal" (2/141) from the route of Zayd ibn al-Ḥabbāb, but he..
