Hadhrat Mujaahid (R.A) reports that Rasulullaah (sallallahualayhi‐
wa‐sallam) once passed by some people who were
competing with each other by lifting a weighty rock.
Rasulullaah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) said to them, "There
is a heavier rock than this whereby you may able to test your
strength."
When the people asked what this was, he replied, "For a brother to approach his brother in reconciliation after the two have been split over some issue and shaytaan has assumed control of both. (He then has to forgo the temporary 'honour' of this world and may even have to ask forgiveness. This he does for Allah’s pleasure)."
"Or," Rasulullaah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) continued, "for a person to control his anger solely for Allah’s pleasure (even though he may be in a position to vent it)."
