Gussa Ki Dua in Arabic (Copy Paste)
This is the complete dua. It is only four words in Arabic, so anyone can memorise it in a minute and say it quietly when they feel angry.
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Gussa Ki Dua in Roman Urdu
Roman Urdu: A’oozu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem
Read it slowly: A’oozu (I seek refuge) – billahi (with Allah) – minash-shaitan (from Satan) – ar-rajeem (the accursed, the rejected one). The “dh” in a’udhu is a soft sound, like “th” in “this”; many Urdu speakers say it as “z”, which is common in the subcontinent.
Urdu Tarjuma
اردو ترجمہ: میں اللہ کی پناہ مانگتا ہوں شیطان مردود سے۔
English Meaning and Word by Word
English meaning: I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed.
- A’udhu – I seek refuge, I seek protection
- Billahi – with Allah
- Mina – from
- Ash-Shaitan – Satan, the devil
- Ar-Rajim – the accursed, the one driven away
The meaning explains why it works. Anger is often a push from Shaitan, so the remedy is to turn to Allah and ask for His protection from that push.

Source of Gussa Ki Dua in Hadith
Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) said that two men were quarrelling in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. One of them became so angry that his face turned red and his veins swelled. The Prophet ﷺ said that he knew a word which, if the man said it, would make his anger go away: “I seek refuge with Allah from Satan.” This is reported in Sahih Bukhari 3282, and also in Sahih Bukhari 6115 and Sahih Muslim 2610 with the words “minash-shaitanir-rajim”.
So gussa ki dua is not a long wazifa. It is one sentence, taught by the Prophet ﷺ himself, for the exact moment of anger.
Quran Verses About Anger
The Quran gives the same instruction. When a whisper from Shaitan stirs you up, seek refuge in Allah (Surah Al-A’raf 7:200):
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
English meaning: And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
اردو ترجمہ: اور اگر شیطان کی طرف سے تمہیں کوئی وسوسہ آئے تو اللہ کی پناہ مانگو، بے شک وہ سننے والا، جاننے والا ہے۔
中文翻译：如果恶魔的诱惑侵扰你，你当求真主护佑。他确是全聪的，确是全知的。（《古兰经》7:200）
বাংলা অনুবাদ: আর যদি শয়তানের পক্ষ থেকে কোনো কুমন্ত্রণা তোমাকে প্ররোচিত করে, তবে আল্লাহর কাছে আশ্রয় চাও। নিশ্চয়ই তিনি সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞ। (সূরা আল-আ’রাফ ৭:২০০)
हिंदी अनुवाद: और अगर शैतान की ओर से कोई बुरा वसवसा तुम्हें उकसाए, तो अल्लाह की पनाह माँगो। निःसंदेह वह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है। (क़ुरआन 7:200)
Allah also praises the people who swallow their anger and forgive others (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:134):
الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
English meaning: Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good.
اردو ترجمہ: جو خوشحالی اور تنگی میں خرچ کرتے ہیں، غصہ پی جانے والے اور لوگوں کو معاف کرنے والے ہیں، اور اللہ نیکی کرنے والوں سے محبت کرتا ہے۔
中文翻译：他们在顺境和逆境中（为主道）施舍，他们抑制怒气，宽恕他人——真主喜爱行善的人。（《古兰经》3:134）
বাংলা অনুবাদ: যারা সচ্ছলতা ও অসচ্ছলতায় (আল্লাহর পথে) ব্যয় করে, যারা রাগ সংবরণ করে এবং মানুষকে ক্ষমা করে — আর আল্লাহ সৎকর্মশীলদের ভালোবাসেন। (সূরা আলে ইমরান ৩:১৩৪)
हिंदी अनुवाद: जो ख़ुशहाली और तंगी में (अल्लाह की राह में) ख़र्च करते हैं, जो ग़ुस्से को पी जाते हैं और लोगों को माफ़ कर देते हैं — और अल्लाह नेकी करने वालों से मोहब्बत करता है। (क़ुरआन 3:134)
When and How to Read Gussa Ki Dua
Read it at the very first sign of anger, before you reply, argue or send a message. You do not need wudu, and you do not need to raise your hands. Saying it quietly under your breath is enough.
5 Sunnah Steps to Control Anger
- Say the dua straight away. As taught in Sahih Bukhari 3282, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan the moment you feel your anger rising.
- Remember the Quran’s instruction. Surah Al-A’raf 7:200 tells us to seek refuge in Allah whenever Shaitan stirs us up.
- Remember what real strength is. The Prophet ﷺ said the strong person is not the one who wins a wrestling match, but the one who controls himself when angry (Sahih Bukhari 6114).
- Hold on to the Prophet’s ﷺ advice. A man asked the Prophet ﷺ for advice and he said, “Do not become angry”, repeating it several times (Sahih Bukhari 6116).
- Restrain and forgive. Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:134 lists swallowing anger and pardoning people among the qualities Allah loves.
Common Mistakes With Gussa Ki Dua
- Waiting until the argument is over. The hadith teaches the dua for the moment of anger itself, not only afterwards.
- Thinking it is only for adults. Children can learn this short dua too; parents can say it aloud so children pick it up.
- Saying the words but continuing to shout. The dua works together with self-control: lower your voice and stop speaking for a moment.
- Treating anger as harmless. Words spoken in anger can break families and friendships. The Quran and Sunnah treat controlling anger as a sign of real strength.
