adab:906

Abu Hurayra said, "A fierce wind blew when the people were on the road to Makka while 'Umar was making hajj. 'Umar asked those around him, 'What is the wind?' They did not give any answer. I urged my camel forward and I caught up with him and said, 'I have heard that you asked about the wind. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "The wind (reeh) is from the spirit (ruh) of Allah. It brings mercy and it brings punishment. Do not curse it. Ask Allah for the good of it and seek refuge from its evil."'"  

الأدب المفرد:٩٠٦حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَخَذَتِ النَّاسَ الرِّيحُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ وَعُمَرُ حَاجٌّ فَاشْتَدَّتْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ مَا الرِّيحُ؟ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعُوا بِشَيْءٍ فَاسْتَحْثَثْتُ رَاحِلَتِي فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الرِّيحِ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ فَلاَ تَسُبُّوهَا وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا وَعُوذُوا مِنْ شَرِّهَا
