اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed. Your decree upon me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept to Yourself in the unseen knowledge with You, to make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sadness, and a reliever of my anxiety.
Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibnu 'abdik, ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukkumuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw anzaltahu fi kitabik, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm al-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.

Focus on the meaning of the words, internalizing the plea to Allah for strength and peace. This dua isn't just about suppressing anger; it's about seeking Allah's help to replace negative emotions with the guidance and solace of the Qur'an.

This dua guides us to seek Allah's strength, allowing the wisdom and peace of the Qur'an to temper our reaction, transforming potential conflict into an opportunity for spiritual growth and righteous patience.

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and then says: O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your handmaid. My forehead is in Your hand. Your judgment upon me is assured, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or that You have taught to anyone from Your creation, or that You have sent down in Your Book, or that You have retained in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the delight of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my anxiety, except that Allah will remove from him his anxiety and grief and replace them with relief." He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these words?" He said: "Certainly! Anyone who hears them should learn them." — Musnad Ahmad 1/391, 452 (Hasan li ghayrihi)
