وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ».

قَالَتْ وَإِذَا تَخَيَّلَتِ السَّمَاءُ تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَرَجَ وَدَخَلَ وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ.

قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «لَعَلَّهُ يَا عَائِشَةُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ عَادٍ «فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا»

Ata ibn Rabah reported on the authority of Aishah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (way peace be upon him), who said: Whenever the wind was stormy, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to say: O Allah! I ask Thee for what is good in it, and the good which it contains, and the good of that which it was sent for.

I seek refuge with Thee from what is evil in it, what evil it contains, and the evil of that what it was sent for; and when there was a thunder and lightning in the sky, his colour underwent a change, and he went out and in, backwards and forwards; and when the rain came, he felt relieved, and I noticed that (the sign of relief) on his face.

Aishah asked him (about it) and he said: It may be as the people of ‘Ad said: When they saw a cloud formation coming to their valley they said: ‘ It is a cloud which would give us rain’ (Qur’an, xlvi).’

আবদ ইবনু হুমায়দ এর সনদে মানসূর হতে একই হাদীস অবিকল বর্ণিত হয়েছে। তবে এ বর্ণনায় শেষ অংশ হচ্ছেঃ অতঃপর সালাত আদায়কারী তার ইচ্ছানুযায়ী অথবা নিজের পছন্দমত যে কোন দু’আ পড়তে পারে।

منصور کے ایک اور شاگرد زائدہ نے ان سے اسی سند کے ساتھ ان دونوں ( جریر اور شعبہ ) کی حدیث کی طرح حدیث بیان کی ، لیکن آخری کلمات میں ماشاء ( جو چاہے ) کی جگہ ما أحب ( جو پسند کرے ) کے الفاظ کہے ۔

Bize Abd b. Humeyd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Hüseyin el-Cu'fî Zâide'den, o da Mansur'dan bu isnadla yukarıdakilerin hadîsleri gibi rivayette bulundu. Bu hadîste «sonra dilediğini yahut sevdiğini istemekte muhayyer kalsın» ibaresini zikretmiştir

What it means

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) informs us that it was part of the Prophetic guidance that when the wind blew strongly, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would say: O Allah, I ask You for the good of this wind and the good that it contains. The wind that Allah, the Almighty, created is of two types: 1.

Normal wind: it is not scary and there is no specific supplication for it. 2. Strong wind: it is scary because Allah, the Almighty, destroyed the people of ‘Ād with a violent barren wind, we ask refuge with Allah from it. Hence, if strong winds start to blow, then follow the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) by saying the following supplication: "O Allah, I ask you for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of the purpose for which it was sent, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of the purpose for which it was sent."

In other words, You ask Allah for all the good associated with this wind and you seek His protection from all the evil associated with it. That is because the wind may be sent with good and it may be sent with evil. It may lead to prosperity and it may lead to destruction.
