The Prohibition against Cursing the Wind, and What One Says When It Blows

821. Abu’l-Mundhir Ubayy ibn Ka’b, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘Do not curse the wind. If you dislike what you see of it, then say, “O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of what it is ordered to do. We seek refuge with You from the evil of this wind and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it is ordered to do.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Fitan, 65).

822. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “When the wind was strong, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say, ‘O Allah, I ask You for its good and the good of what is in it and the good of what is brought by it, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what is brought by it.’” (Sahih Muslim, Istisqa, 15).
