When your companion becomes angry and says
something that is unwarranted, you should not take it too hard. His
situation is that of a drunken person who is not aware of what is taking
place. Instead, be patient, even if it means only for a little while.
If you reciprocate his words with harsh words of your own, you become
like the sane person who seeks revenge on a madman, or the conscious
person who seeks retribution from an unconscious one. Look at him with a
merciful eye and pity him for his actions.
Ibn al-Jawzi
