It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Allah Almighty sent upon the people of Ad no wind except the size of (the hole of) this ring of mine. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it, whereas Imam Muslim alone recorded, through the narration of Mas'ud bin Malik by way of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, the wording: "I have been helped by the east wind (saba)."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laugh so fully that the back of his throat could be seen; he (peace and blessings be upon him) would only smile. She said: When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw clouds or wind, signs of concern would appear on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, when people see clouds they rejoice, hoping there will be rain in them, but I see that when you see them, signs of dislike appear on your face!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Aishah, what can make me secure that there is no punishment in it, when a people were punished by wind, and indeed a people saw the punishment coming?" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Then when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said: 'This is a cloud bringing us rain'" [Surah al-Ahqaf: 24] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording.
