أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ, اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي، وَأَذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قَلْبِي، وَأَجِرْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَأَجِرْنِي مِنْ سُوءِ الْعَاقِبَةِ
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. O Allah, forgive my sins, remove the anger from my heart, save me from Shaytan, and save me from the evil consequences.
*A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem. Allahummaghfir li dhanbi, wa adh-hib ghayza qalbi, wa ajirni minash-shaytan, wa ajirni min su'il-'aaqibah.*

Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us a comprehensive supplication to recite when overcome by anger: 'A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem. Allahummaghfir li dhanbi, wa adh-hib ghayza qalbi, wa ajirni minash-shaytan, wa ajirni min su'il-'aaqibah.' (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. O Allah, forgive my sins, remove the anger from my heart, save me from Shaytan, and save me from the evil consequences.) This indicates the profound connection between our physical state, our emotions, and our spiritual well-being, and the importance of turning to Allah for help in managing them.
