Introduction
We all face disagreement, sometimes causing grief and leading to difficult situations. To this end, we have compiled some Ahaidth of Mosomeen-asws on debates and arguments:
http://hubeali.com/articles/Manazarah_Jaddal_Ahtijaj.pdf
The scope of this short write-up is when the excessive debates and persistent disagreements turn into ugly confrontations ending up to altercation. The social media and interference of unwise family and friends may never let an issue to settle down or sometimes even fan the ignited rage beyond control โ causing a sensible group to act irrationally and/or behaving erratically and badly. When a mob full of anger forms, they feel they have enormous power at their disposal. At this, wisdom gets obscured, evil minds and opportunists start manipulating the group, which start causing harm to people and properties. For example, resulting in serious assaults or even Lynching by the mob, e.g., recent incidents of lynching in Sialkot and elsewhereโฆ.[1]
In Western world, assault is considered a grave crime which may tarnish someoneโs job prospects when convicted and given a criminal record.[2]
Letโs, learn from the examples of the companions of Ahl Al-Bayt-asws, e.g., when they faced with someone who was abusive, what was their reaction and how they were guided by the Ahl Al-Bayt-asws.
However, prior to that, we quote a Hadith where Rasool-Allah-saww says: Ali-asws and I-saww are the two fathers of the believers.
ูู ุฃูู ูุฑูุชููู ุฃููู ููููุงุฏููู ู ููู ุณูุจูู ุฃูุจููููููู ููุนููููููู ููุนูููุฉู ุงูููููู ูู ุฃูููุง ุฃูุดูููุฏู ุงูููููู ูู ุฃูุดูููุฏูููู ู ุฃููููู ูู ุนูููููุงู ุฃูุจูููุง ุงููู ูุคูู ูููููู ููู ููู ุณูุจูู ุฃูุญูุฏูููุง ููุนููููููู ููุนูููุฉู ุงูููููู
And I-saww instructed him-asws to call out: โOne who reviles his parents, upon him is the Curse of Allah-azwjโ, and I-saww keep Allah-azwj as Witness and keep you all as witness that Iโsaww and Aliโasws are two fathers of the Momineen (believers), so the one who reviles one of us-asws, upon him is the Curse of Allah-azwjโ (see the complete Hadith in Appendix I).[3]

It is reported that Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws was sitting with his-asws companions when a beautiful woman passed by and they began to look at her. It was then that Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws said: The eyes of these men are covetous, and such glances are the cause of their becoming covetous. Whenever anyone of you sees a woman who attracts him, he should meet his wife [for cohabitation] because she is a woman just like his wife.
(At that) One of the Kharijites (sitting there) said: โMay Allah-azwj Kill this heretic (Nouzobillah โ God Forbid)! How logical he-asws is!โ
People (from the gathering) then leapt towards him to kill him, but Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talibโasws said: โWait a little bit. There should either be abuse [for an abuse] or else (better) pardoning from the offence.โ[4]
Hence, there is no justification from exceeding the crime of a person so either one can reply in the same terms or better forgive him.
How to Clear the air (to suppress the rage)?

Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws said: Hearts have desires which incline and withdraw excessively, therefore harness the tendency of (being volatile) otherwise when heart becomes uncontrollable it turns blind (cannot be guided).[6]

Describing the disorder/strife of the mobs, Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws said: They are the ones who overwhelm (feel the strength of the mob) when they gather but no one recognises them when they disperse.
It is (also) said that he-asws (Amir-ul-Momineen-asws) rather said, โThey are the ones, who do harm when they gather and they do good when they disperse.โ The Imam-asws was asked, โWe understand their mischief when they gather, but what is the benefit when they disperse?โ
The Imam-asws said, โEach one of them returns to his profession, so people benefit from them, such as the builder returning to build, the weaver returns to his craft and the baker returns to his bakery, and so on.โ[7]
Never Call out for a Fight:
Amir ul-Momineen-asws would wait and avoid a confrontation, as one can see from the months of deliberations and observations of patience by Amir ul-Momineen-asws prior to the Battle of Saffeen. Even during the battle of Saffeen, Imam Ali-asws said to his-asws son, (Imam Hassanโasws):
ูู ููุงูู ุนโ ููุงุจููููู ุงููุญูุณููู ุน ููุง ุชูุฏูุนูููููู ุฅูููู ู ูุจูุงุฑูุฒูุฉู ูู ุฅููู [ููุฅูููโ] ุฏูุนููุชู ุฅูููููููุง ููุฃูุฌูุจู ููุฅูููู ุงูุฏููุงุนููู ุฅูููููููุง ุจูุงุบู ูู ุงููุจูุงุบููู ู ูุตูุฑููุนูโ
Imam Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws said: Do not challenge anyone to a duel (fight), but if you are called upon to duel, (only then) respond, because one who calls to a fight is an oppressor, and the oppressor is always defeated.[8]

I said to himโasws (the Imam-asws), โO my Masterโasws! I did not know what was in the base of the doorโ. Heโasws said: โAnd why did you have to do a deed being needy to apologise from it?
Beware after it from repeating similar to it, and whenever you hear insults to usโasws, then continue on your way, which Iโasws instruct you with and beware of replying to the one who insults usโasws, or introducing to him who you are, for we are in an evil country, and an evil city. And continue in your road, for your news and your situations are being referred to usโasws, so know that!โโ (See the complete Hadith in Appendix II).[9]
There is no gathering in Sins:
Imam-asws says: So, help each other towards the righteousness and the piety but do not help each other towards the sins and the animosity. And fear Allahโazwj for Heโazwj is Severe is the Punishmentโ.[10] (Hadith in given in Appendix III)
Extending the Fight from Verbal to Physical:
ูู ููุงูู ุนโ ู ููู ุจูุงููุบู ููู ุงููุฎูุตููู ูุฉู ุฃูุซูู ู ูู ู ููู ููุตููุฑู ูููููุง ุธูููู ู ูู ููุง ููุณูุชูุทููุนู ุฃููู ููุชูููููู ุงูููููู ู ููู ุฎูุงุตูู ูโ
Imam Ali-asws ibn Abu Talib-asws said: Whoever goes too far in quarrelling is a sinner, but if one falls short in it (quarrel), one is oppressed. But the one who initiates the fight will lose the ability to fear Allah-azwj.[11]
Who Wins in Confrontation?

From him, from Ibn Fazzal who said,
โI heard Abu Al-Hassanโasws saying: โNo two parties ever met (in a confrontation) at all, except victory was for the one who was greater of the two in pardoningโ.[12]
The Expiation of the Injuries:
This is a difficult subject, as there are laws of the land which one has to follow, so these laws differ from a country to country. However, one can follow the Islamic laws, if possible, for the best solutions, as in Islam there is compensation for the injured, even for a scratch.

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Aban Bin Usman, from Suleyman cousin of Hassan Al Ajaly who said,
โI heard Abu Abdullahโasws saying: โAllahโazwj did not Create a Permissible nor a Prohibition except for it is a Limit like the limits (boundaries) of this house of mineasws. Whatever was from the road, so it is from the road, and whatever was from the house, so it is from the house, to the extent of the compensation of the scratch, and whatever is besides it, and the lashing and half of the lashingโ.[13]
Hence, if there is an option to resolve an expiration of an assault, there are Ahadith available, see for example a Hadith cited in Appendix IV from Al-Kafi, volume Seven.

The Messengerโsaww of Allahโazwj said: โThe wretched one is the one who is wretched in the womb of his mother, and a happy one is the one who heeds the advice given to the others. And the most intelligent one of the intelligent ones is the one who is pious, and the most stupid of the stupid ones is the immoral. The most evil of the report is the report of the lies (false report), and the most evil of the matters is the innovations. And the blindness of all blindness is the blindness of the heart, and the worst regret is the regret on the Day of Judgement.
And the greatest of the sins in the Presence of Allahโazwj is the lying tongue, and the most evil of the gains is the gain of the interest. And the most evil of the consumption is the consumption of the wealth of the orphans. The best of the decors of the decors of the man is good guidance along with faith, and the controlling of his affairs by it and strengthening them.

And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allah-azwj Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satan-la disobeys Allah-azwj, and the one who disobeys Allah-azwj is Punished by Allah-azwj. The one who is thankful, Allah-azwj Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allah-azwj. The one who places reliance upon Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj suffices for him.

Do not Enrage Allah-azwj by pleasing anyone from His-azwj creatures, and do not seek nearness to anyone from the creatures who takes you far away from Allah-azwj, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, there is nothing between Him-azwj and anyone from His-azwj creatures anything by which good can be acquired nor evil be repelled except by being obedient to Him-azwj, and the following of His-azwj Pleasure.

And that Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, Defends the one who is obedient to Him-azwj and the one who is disobedient to Him-azwj does not seek protection from Him-azwj. And the fugitive from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will not find an escape, and that the Command of Allah-azwj will Descend even though the creatures may be averse to it. And everything which is to come is near, and Whatsoever Allah-azwj so Desires has happened and whatsoever He-azwj does not Desire will not happen. So help each other towards the righteousness and the piety and do not help each other towards the sins and the animosity. And fear Allahโazwj for Heโazwj is Severe is the Punishmentโ.[17]
