أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ يحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ ". قَالَتْ: فَإِذَا تَخَيَّلَتِ السَّمَاءُ تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ، وَخَرَجَ وَدَخَلَ، وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ، فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ، فَقَالَ: " لَعَلَّهُ يَا عَائِشَةُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ عَادٍ {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا} [الأحقاف: ٢٤] " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), says that whenever the wind blew he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bih, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bih' (O Allah, I ask You for its good, and the good that is in it, and the good with which it has been sent; and I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil that is in it, and the evil with which it has been sent). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When the sky became overcast, his (peace and blessings be upon him) colour would change; at times he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out, at times come in, at times come forward and at times turn back. When the rain fell, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would be relieved by it. When she came to know this, she asked him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Aishah! Perhaps it may be as it was with the people of Ad: "Then when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said: This is a cloud bringing us rain" [Surah al-Ahqaf: 24]."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، وَابْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَحَدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ. وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ الزُّرَقِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: " أَخَذْتِ النَّاسَ رِيحٌ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَاجٌّ فَاشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ: " مَا الرِّيحُ؟ " فَلَمْ يُرْجِعُوا إِلَيْهِ شَيْئًا، فَبَلَغَنِي الَّذِي سَأَلَ عَنْهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَاسْتَحْثَثْتُ رَاحِلَتِي إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَدْرَكْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الرِّيحِ؟ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ، وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ، فَلَا تَسُبُّوهَا، وَاسْأَلُوا اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيْرَهَا، وَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا ".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once a strong wind overtook the people while they were on the road to Makkah, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was going for Hajj, and the wind became very severe. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the people around him: "What is the wind?" But they gave him no answer. Then the news reached me that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had asked this question, so I urged my mount towards him until I caught up with him, and I said: O Commander of the Believers! I have been told that you asked about the wind, and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The wind is from the mercy of Allah; it brings mercy and it brings punishment, so do not curse it. Ask Allah Almighty for its good and seek refuge in Him from its evil."
