Hadith 10241
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا إِلَى جَنْبِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَرَّ شَيْخٌ جَمِيلٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ وَفِي أُذُنَيْهِ صَمَمٌ أَوْ قَالَ وَقْرٌ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ حُمَيْدٌ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَوْسِعْ لَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ فَيَنْطِقُ أَحْسَنَ النُّطْقِ وَيَضْحَكُ أَحْسَنَ الضِّحْكِ
Sa’d says: I was sitting in the mosque with Humaid bin Abdur Rahman, when a handsome elder from Banu Ghifar passed by, who was hard of hearing. When Humaid sent a message to him, he turned his attention. Then Humaid said: My nephew! Make room between me and yourself for him, because he is a companion of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. That elder said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Indeed, Allah Almighty creates the cloud, and then it speaks in the best manner and laughs in the best manner.

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الرَّعْدَ وَالصَّوَاعِقَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ

He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: One of Allah’s angels has been assigned the management of the clouds; in his hand is a sword of fire, with which he drives the clouds and moves them according to Allah’s command. They said: The sound we hear, what is that? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That is his voice. The Jews said: You have spoken the truth.

The people did not give any answer, when I came to know of Sayyiduna Umar’s question, I hurried my mount until I reached him and said: O Commander of the Faithful! I have learned that you asked about the wind, I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say about it: The origin of the wind is from Allah Almighty, it comes with mercy and also with punishment, so when you see it, do not speak ill of it, rather ask Allah Almighty for its goodness and seek refuge from its evil.
