حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ لَقِيَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ابْنَ صَائِدٍ فِي بَعْضِ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْلاً أَغْضَبَهُ فَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى مَلأَ السِّكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَقَدْ بَلَغَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ مَا أَرَدْتَ مِنِ ابْنِ صَائِدٍ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ غَضْبَةٍ يَغْضَبُهَا " .
Nafi Narrated from:
Ibn 'Umar met Ibn Si'id on some of the paths of Medina and he said to him a word which enraged him and he was so much swollen with anger that the way was blocked. Ibn 'Umar went to Hafsa and informed her about this. Thereupon she said: May Allah have mercy upon you, why did you incite Ibn Sayyad in spite of the fact that you knew it would be the extreme anger which would make Dajjal appear in the world?

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2932a
This hadith about Dajjal and anger reports that Ibn Umar met Ibn Sa'id on a path in Medina and said something that made him angry. Ibn Sayyad became so swollen with anger that the way was blocked. Ibn Umar then went to Hafsa, and she questioned why he had incited Ibn Sayyad. She reminded him of the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم statement that Dajjal would come out because of an anger he becomes angry with. The core topic is anger, especially anger linked to the Dajjal warning. The hadith does not tell us to accuse people or provoke them. Rather, Hafsa’s words point toward caution. When a matter is tied to danger and anger, provoking it is not wise.
What we learn from this hadith
- Provoking anger can lead to harm in serious situations.
- Hafsa reminded Ibn Umar of a statement from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
- The hadith links Dajjal’s emergence with anger in this report.
- Caution is better than stirring a feared matter.
