It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not speak ill of the wind, for it brings both mercy and punishment. Ask Allah Almighty for its goodness and seek refuge with Him from its evil.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that people were on the way to Makkah Mukarramah, a wind began to blow, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was going for Hajj, the wind became strong, Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, asked the people around him: Who will tell us about the wind? The people did not give any answer, when I came to know of Sayyiduna Umar’s question, I hurried my mount until I reached him and said: O Commander of the Faithful! I have learned that you asked about the wind, I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say about it: The origin of the wind is from Allah Almighty, it comes with mercy and also with punishment, so when you see it, do not speak ill of it, rather ask Allah Almighty for its goodness and seek refuge from its evil.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey when a very strong wind blew. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is because of the death of a hypocrite." So when we reached Madinah, we saw that one of the prominent hypocrites among the great hypocrites had died.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the wind would blow, it could be discerned from the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (that he was becoming concerned).

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a cloud, I would see signs of fear and anxiety on his face. When it rained, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would become calm.

. (Second chain) Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw clouds, his face would change and he would begin to go back and forth. When it started to rain, this state would leave him. When he was asked about the reason for this, he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I have no security regarding this matter; it may be that this is the very thing about which Allah Almighty said: {فَلَمَّا رَاَوْہُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ اَوْدِیَتِہِمْ قَالُوْا ھٰذَا عَارِض’‘ مُّمْطِرُنَا بَلْ ھُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِہٖرِیْح’‘ فِیْھَا عَذَاب’‘ اَلِیْم’‘۔} Then, when they saw the punishment as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain." (No!) Rather, it is what you were impatient for—a wind wherein is a painful punishment. (Surah Al-Ahqaf: 24)

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also narrates that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a cloud rising from any horizon of the sky, he would leave his work, even if he was performing prayer, and would say: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it. Then if Allah the Exalted cleared it away, he would praise Him, and if it began to rain, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: O Allah! Send down beneficial rain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people are afflicted by famine and Allah Almighty sends down His sustenance (in the form of rain), they become polytheists. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! How is that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People say that it rained because of such-and-such star.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: During the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it rained. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went outside, removed the cloth from a part of his body, until the rainwater touched that part. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why did you do this? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Because it has just come freshly from its Lord.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Hailstones fell during rain, Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) began to eat the hailstones, even though he was fasting. Someone said: Do you eat these hailstones while you are fasting? He replied: These are blessings.
