اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ , وَسَلَمَةُ يَعْنِيَ ابْنَ شَبِيبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : فَرَوْحُ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ ، وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا ، فَلَا تَسُبُّوهَا وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا ، وَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: 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.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Air is one of Allah’s great blessings, without which human life is not possible. However, this very air, by Allah’s command, can become a storm and hurricane, causing destruction.
➋
Mercy and punishment are in Allah’s control; therefore, one should have hope in Him and fear Him alone.
➌
On the occasion of strong winds and storms, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to supplicate in this manner: (Allahumma inni as’aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bihi wa a’udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi) (Sahih Muslim, Salat al-Istisqa, Chapter: Seeking refuge when seeing wind and clouds, and rejoicing at rain, Hadith: 899)
“O Allah! I ask You for its goodness, the goodness within it, and the goodness with which it has been sent. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil within it, and the evil with which it has been sent.”
Just as it is sinful to curse human beings, likewise, it is wrong to curse animals and inanimate creation.
