Anger is indeed from fire. Fire can be interpreted here as something that is uneasy to do soul. It can be implied also, as every soul is unique, then fire from A individual to B individual can be very different. What I mean is every person has different reasons to get angry depend on what is uneasy to his/her soul.
From Islamic point of view, we can expel it by supplicate to Allah, asking from Him to stay away from Satan deceptions within our soul. The deceptions are varied, our soul interpret it accordingly. We can say it is miscommunication as well. Second, it is best to understand as anger is an element of fire, it is best to take ablution as it is water elements. When performing ablution again, we supplicate to Allah. Thirdly, in prophetic narration, we need to sit down if we are standing. In my opinion, it is to create a relax and tranquility situation within ourself as well as outside. It means we are retreating from aggressive behavior.
That’s why when you notice closely, an anger person,when he is angry his breathe is fast, his movement is fast. He must let himself to calm down by sitting down. If he can’t perform that, he must run away from that place. He needs a space. His soul needs a space. He lost his element of Allah’s slave. He needs to retrieve it back through repentance.
It is important as well to those who surrounds him, not to answer back. It means nothing if you answer back as his rationality is lost. You can advice him later when he cools down already. If he talks while he is angry, let him talk, he will surely talk fast and loud, as his energy/adrenaline increases. Listen to him, don’t talk back or answer him back because if you do, please expect to receive these maltreatment in term of:
a) verbal insult
b) physical attack
Good luck!!
