A deed that protects one from the anger of Allah Ta’ala

Is this narration reliable?

A person asked Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) what will protect me from Allah Ta’ala’s anger? Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied, ‘Do not become angry’

Answer:

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith. The narration is as follows:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), “What will protect me/distance me from the anger of Allah”? Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Do not become angry”

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 2 pg. 175. Declared authentic by Imam Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 296)
