It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was on his way to Makkah Mukarramah for Hajj, a strong wind blew. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "What is the wind?" They did not give any answer. I quickly advanced my mount and reached him. I said: "I have come to know that you asked about the wind. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The wind is Allah’s mercy; it brings mercy and it brings punishment. Therefore, do not speak ill of it, and ask Allah for its good, and seek refuge from its evil.'"
