Imam Ali (AS) said, Rage is a bout of insanity because its possessor regrets [afterwards], but if he does not feel regret, then his insanity is firmly established.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلحِدَّةُ ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الجُنُونِ لأنَّ صاحِبَها يَنْدَمُ فَإنْ لَمْ يَنْدَمْ فَجُنُونُهُ مُسْتَحْكَمٌ
