Riyad as-Salihin, 1729

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said:

Whenever the wind blew strongly, The Prophet (ﷺ) would say: "Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha, wa khaira ma fiha, wa khaira ma ursilat bihi. Wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri ma ursilat bihi. (O Allah, I beg of You its good and the good of that which it contains and the good of the purpose for which it has been sent; and I seek Your Refuge from its evil and the evil of that which it contains and the evil of the purpose for which it has been sent)." [Muslim].

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا عصفت الريح قال‏:‏ اللهم إني أسألك خيرها، وخير ما فيها، وخير ما أُرسلت به، وأعوذ بك من شرها، وشر ما فيها، وشر ما أُرسلت به‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadiths: 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. 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. 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. 4) Encouraging the regular recitation of the Shariah-approved supplications, which protect one against all evils and bring him all goodness.
