It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Before the Hour a wind will blow in which the soul of every believer will be taken." If Nafi's hearing from Ayyash al-Makhzumi is established, then this hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but neither of them recorded it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty will send a wind from the direction of Yemen, softer than silk, which will not leave anyone in whose heart there is even a mustard seed's weight of faith except that it will take his soul." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It has a supporting narration (shahid) reported as mawquf from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both).
