Hadith On Insults

The Prophet ﷺ said:

إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ
“If one of you is angry while he is STANDING,
let him SIT DOWN until his anger leaves him;
otherwise, let him LIE DOWN.”

[“Abu Dawud”, 4782 – صحيح].

WHY INSULTS ARE BETTER TAKEN LYING DOWN

If you really must offend someone, WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE LYING DOWN; people handle ANGER differently when they’re lying on their backs, compared with sitting upright.

University students who heard personal insults while seated exhibited brain activity linked to so-called “approach motivation” – the desire to approach and explore something.

This potential URGE DISAPPEARED when students took their INSULTS LYING DOWN, despite their anger remaining.

“IN THE UPRIGHT OR LEANING FORWARD STATE ONE MIGHT BE MORE LIKELY TO ATTACK,” says Eddie Harmon-Jones, a cognitive scientist at Texas A&M University in College Station, who led the study.
