adab:719Ubayy bin Kab (ra) said," Do not denounce wind. When you behold in it something that you dislike make this supplication:

(O Allah! We ask you the good of this wind and the good of what is therein and the good with which it is sent.)

الأدب المفرد:٧١٩حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ أَبِي قَالَ لاَ تَسُبُّوا الرِّيحَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

"Do not curse the wind. When you see what you dislike, then say: 'Allahumma inna nas-aluka min khairi hadhihir-rih, wa khairi ma fiha wa khairi ma umirat bihi wa na'udhu bika min sharri hadhihir-rih wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma umirat bihi' ('O Allah! Indeed we ask you of the good of this wind, and the good of what is in it, and the good of what it has been commanded. And we seek refuge in You from the evil of this wind, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been commanded.)"

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

And I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with (Allāhumma innī as’aluka min khairihā wa khairi mā fīhā, wa khairi mā ursilat bihī, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharrihā wa sharri mā fīhā, wa sharri mā ursilat bih).’”
