Anger comes from the devil
Narrated Atiyyah as-Sa'di:
AbuWa'il al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn as-Sa'di. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said: My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who reported the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying: Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.

Anger also affects the mental and psychological faculties, it strongly affects the nerves and blood vessels; once one gets angry he will be afflicted with severe disorders, high blood pressure, and rapid pace of heartbeat as well.
A Muslim must avoid the reasons of anger as long as he can do so.

Please keep in mind my dear Muslim brother that the believer shall be strong in his faith and determination, as well he is the one who can control himself when he is angry, avoid quarreling with his rival, and safely withdraw from the path of troubles so as to be safe from the bad consequences of anger.
One of the remedies for anger is to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. He who seeks refuge in Allah will be granted protection against the evil.
