The Quran praises those who restrain anger and forgive.

What it means

Among those prepared for Paradise are “those who spend in prosperity and adversity, who restrain their anger and pardon people; God loves the good-doers” (3:134). The Prophet said that the strong man is not the one who overcomes others in wrestling but the one who controls himself when angry (Sahih al-Bukhari).
