How can the narration, "Whoever suppresses rage, while he is able to unleash it, Allah, the Most Mighty and Exalted, will call him before all creatures on the Day of Resurrection and let him choose from the wide-eyed houris whatever he wishes," be reconciled with the narration, "The one who remains silent about his right is a mute devil," with illustrative examples?
The first Hadith, narrated by Imam Ahmad and others, and graded as hasan by Al-Albani, means that whoever suppresses his anger and endures it while being capable of acting upon it, Allah will call upon him on the Day of Resurrection and praise him. Suppressing anger is lauded because it is an act of self-conquest. Allah has praised those who suppress anger and forgive people. As for the saying "the one who keeps silent about his right," it was not mentioned in a Hadith. Rather, what was stated is "the one who keeps silent about the truth is a mute devil," which is a saying of the people of knowledge, and it means what is incumbent upon a person regarding enjoining good and forbidding evil.
