When there was on any day windstorm or dark cloud (its effects) could be read on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he moved forward and backward (in a state of anxiety) ; and when it rained, he was delighted and it (the state of restlessness) disappeared. 'A'isha said: I asked him the reason of this anxiety and he said: I was afraid that it might be a calamity that might fall upon my Ummah, and when he saw rainfall he said: It is the mercy (of Allah).  

مسلم:٨٩٩aحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الرِّيحِ وَالْغَيْمِ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ سُرَّ بِهِ وَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَذَابًا سُلِّطَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي وَيَقُولُ إِذَا رَأَى الْمَطَرَ رَحْمَةٌ

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الْأَمْنِ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ، نَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُشَمِّرًا فِي أَسْبَابِ الطَّاعَاتِ جَهَدَهُ

ibnhibban:658Abū Khalīfah > al-Qaʿnabī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad > ʿAṭāʾ b. Abū Rabāḥ

[Machine] Narrated from Al-Qa'nabi that Suleiman ibn Bilal reported from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from Ata ibn Abu Rabah that he heard Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, say: "When the day was windy or cloudy, it was evident in the face of the Prophet ﷺ. He would turn towards it and turn away from it. And when it rained, he would be pleased with it and that (expression) would go away from him. He was asked about it, and he ﷺ said, 'I feared that it could be a punishment sent upon my nation.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٥٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ رِيحٍ أَوْ غَيْمٍ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ سُرَّ بِهِ وَذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ فَسُئِلَ فقَالَ ﷺ «إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَذَابًا سُلِّطَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي»
