adab:720 –

It is stated by sayidina Abu Hurayrah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said "Wind is the mercy of Allah. It brings mercy or punishment. Do not denounce it but ask Allah, the exalted, for the good of it and seek the protection of Allah from its evil.”

الأدب المفرد:٧٢٠ – حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ الزُّرَقِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالْعَذَابِ فَلاَ تَسُبُّوهَا وَلَكِنْ سَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا

abudawud:5097 – Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Marwazī And Salamah / Ibn Shabīb > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > al-Zuhrī > Thābit b. Qays > Abū Hurayrah

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The wind comes from Allah's mercy. Salamah's version has: It is Allah's mercy; it (sometimes) brings blessing and (sometimes) brings punishment. So when you see it, do not revile it, but ask Allah for some of its good, and seek refuge in Allah from its evil.

أبو داود:٥٠٩٧ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ وَسَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَبِيبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَرَوْحُ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَلاَ تَسُبُّوهَا وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا وَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا

ibnmajah:3727 – Abū Bakr > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > al-Awzāʿī > al-Zuhrī > Thābit al-Zuraqī > Abū Hurayrah

"Do not curse the wind, for it is from the mercy of Allah, bringing Rahmah (i.e., rain and breezes), or destruction. But ask Allah for its goodness, and seek refuge with Allah from its evil."

ابن ماجة:٣٧٢٧ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الزُّرَقِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَسُبُّوا الرِّيحَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالْعَذَابِ وَلَكِنْ سَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا
