Riyad as-Salihin, 1728
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "The wind is the Blessing of Allah. Sometimes it brings His Mercy and sometimes it brings His Chastisement. When you experience it, do not revile it but beg of Allah its good; and seek Allah's Refuge against its evil." <b>[Abu Dawud with good Isnad]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
الريح من روح الله، تأتي بالرحمة، وتأتي بالعذاب، فإذا رأيتموها فلا تسبوها، وسلوا الله خيرها، واستعيذوا بالله من شرها
.((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)) قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم من روح الله هو بفتح الراء أي رحمته بعباده

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is prohibited to curse the wind, for it is one of the signs of Allah Almighty and it abounds with good things, like rain and pollen.<br>
2) When the Shariah forbids something, it directs us towards what is better. So, it prohibits us from cursing the wind and teaches us such supplications that protect us from its evil and bring us its goodness, by the will of Allah Almighty.<br>
3) At times of hardship and fear, a person should turn to his Lord and seek refuge in Him. Indeed, Allah does not disappoint a servant who resorts to Him.<br>
4) Encouraging the regular recitation of the Shariah-approved supplications, which protect one against all evils and bring him all goodness.
