حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، وَسَلَمَةُ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَبِيبٍ) قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ». قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَرَوْحُ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَلَا تَسُبُّوهَا وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا وَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say: The wind comes from Allah’s mercy. Salamah’s version has: It is Allah’s mercy; it (sometimes) brings blessing and (sometimes) brings punishment. So when you see it, do not revile it, but ask Allah for some of its good, and seek refuge in Allah from its evil.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ বায়ু আল্লাহর অন্যতম রহমত। তা কখনো শান্তি বয়ে আনে আবার কখনো আযাব নিয়ে আসে। সুতরাং বাতাস প্রবাহিত হতে দেখলে তোমরা তাকে গালাগলি দিবে না, বরং আল্লাহর নিকট এর কল্যাণ চাইবে এবং তার খারাবী থেকে আল্লাহর নিকট মুক্তি প্রার্থনা করবে।[1] সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا: «ریح» ( ہوا ) اللہ کی رحمت میں سے ہے ( سلمہ کی روایت میں «من روح الله‏‏» ہے ) ، کبھی وہ رحمت لے کر آتی ہے، اور کبھی عذاب لے کر آتی ہے، تو جب تم اسے دیکھو تو اسے برا مت کہو، اللہ سے اس کی بھلائی مانگو، اور اس کے شر سے اللہ کی پناہ چاہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Muhammad Al Marwazi] dan [Salamah] -maksudnya Salamah bin Syabib- keduanya berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Az Zuhri] ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Tsabit bin Qais] bahwa [Abu Hurairah] berkata, "Aku mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Angin itu dari rahmat Allah."

Salamah berkata, "Terkadang angin datang bersama rahmat Allah dan terkadang datang dengan membawa siksa. Maka jika kalian melihatnya janganlah mencela, mohonlah kepada Allah akan kebaikannya, dan mintalah perlindungan kepada-Nya dari keburukannya

Hz.Ebu Hureyre, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'i şöyle buyururken işittiğini söylemiştir: "Rüzgâr Allah'ın rahmet(ler)inden bir rahmettir. (Mu'minlere) rahmet, (kâfirlere de) azab getirir. Binaenaleyh onu görünce, ona sövmeyiniz de Allah'dan onun hayrını isteyiniz. Şerrinden de Allah'a sığınınız

What it means

The wind is from Allah's mercy for His slaves. It brings mercy, and it brings punishment. Allah sends the wind as a mercy for His slaves, and it results in much goodness and blessings for the people.

Allah says in the Qur'an: {And We have sent the fertilizing winds} [Sūrat al-Hijr: 22]. {It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them} [Sūrat Ar-Rūm: 48]. {And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein, and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits} [Sūrat al-A‘rāf: 57].

It also brings punishment as explained by the following verses in the Qur'an: {So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life} [Sūrat Fussilat: 16]. {Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune. Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted} [Sūrat al-Qamar: 19-20].

{And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said: "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that for which you were impatient: a wind, within it a painful punishment} [Sūrat al-Ahqāf: 24]. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see it, do not swear at it," i.e. it is not permitted for a Muslim to curse the wind, because it is a creation of Allah and it is ordered by Him to do what it does, and it has no real effect in itself.

It neither harms nor benefits except with the orders it takes from Allah. Therefore, swearing at the wind is equivalent to swearing at the One who creates and controls it, namely, Allah, the Almighty.

"Ask Allah for its goodness and seek Allah's refuge from its evil", i.e. after the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade swearing at the wind, he directed his nation to ask Allah for its good and seek refuge from its evil when it blows. In other words, they should ask Allah that the good that it carries be delivered to them, and that the evil that it carries be diverted away from them.
