Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a wind rises from the direction of the sea (that is, west of Madinah) and then moves toward Syria (that is, north of Madinah), it will bring abundant rain."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and said: "Al-Waqidi is alone in narrating it." I say: There is criticism of al-Waqidi, and more than one scholar declared him thiqah (trustworthy). There is no harm in the remaining narrators of this report, and they have been declared trustworthy. And Allah knows best.
