Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)

 

by Imam Nawawi

 

323. Chapter: The prohibition against cursing the wind, and what one says when it blows

1727. Abu'l-Mundhir Ubayy ibn Ka'b said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Do not curse the wind. If you dislike what you see of it, then say, "O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of what it is ordered to do. We seek refuge with You from the evil of this wind and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it is ordered to do."'" [at-Tirmidhi]

1728. Abu Hurayra said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'The wind is from the mercy of Allah. It brings mercy and brings punishment. When you see it, do not curse it. Ask Allah for its good and seek refuge in Allah from its evil." [Abu Dawud]

1729. 'A'isha said, "When the wind was strong, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, 'O Allah, I ask You for its good and the good of what is in it and the good of what is brought by it, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what is brought by it.'" [Muslim]
