Discussion about strong gail force winds as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim etc. from Ummul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا She رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا says that when strong winds would blow, Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would recite this Dua:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ خَیْرَھَا وَخَیْرَمَا فِیْھَا وَخَیْرَمَا اُرْسِلَتْ بِہٖ وَاَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ شَرِّھَا وَشَرِّمَا فِیْھَا وَشَرِّمَا اُرْسِلَتْ بِہٖ

‘O Allah! I ask of You its goodness, and of that goodness (benefit) which is in it, and the goodness with which it has been sent, and I seek refuge in You from its disruption, and from that disruption of that which is in it, and from the disruption with which it has been sent.’

Hadith 2: Imam Shafi’i, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Baihaqi reported in Dawaat-e-Kabeer that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Wind is through the Mercy of Allah. Mercy brings (with it) Punishment. Do not speak ill of it, but ask Allah to bless you with its goodness and to protect you from its disruption.’

Hadith 3: It is in Tirmizi from Abdullah ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that a person cursed the wind, in the presence of Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم, so He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Do not curse the wind because it is subservient to Command. If someone curses something and that thing is not deserving of that curse, then the curse falls back on the one who cursed it.’

Hadith 4: Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Imam Shafi’i have reported from Ummul Momineen رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that she says, ‘When the sky would become overcast, Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would stop talking and direct his attention towards it, and then recite this Dua.’

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِیْہِ

‘O Allah, I seek protection in You, from the devastation of that which is within it.’

If it would clear up, he would Praise Allah, and if it would rain, he would read the following Dua:

اَللّٰھُمَّ سَقْیاً نَّافِعًا

‘O Allah, Allow beneficial rains to fall.’

Hadith 5: Imam Ahmed and Tirmizi reported from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that when Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would hear the clapping of thunder and the bolts of lightning, he would say:

اَللّٰھُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِکَ وَلَا تُھْلِکْنَا بِعَذَابِکَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذٰلِکَ

‘O Allah, Do not slay us with Your Wrath, and do no destroy us with Your punishment, and before that (happens), grant us Your Divine Protection.’

Hadith 6: Imam Maalik reported from Abdullah ibn Zubair رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that when Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم would hear the sound of thunder, he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم would stop talking and say,

سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْ یُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بَحَمْدِہٖ وَالْمَلٰئِکَۃُ مِنْ خِیْفَتِہٖ  اِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیئٍ قَدِیۡرٌ

‘Glory be to Him, (Whom) the thunder praises by its Tasbeeh and Angels due to His fear. Verily, Allah has Divine Power over all things.’

Hadith 7: It is said that when you hear the clapping of thunder, then Praise Allah. Do not proclaim the Takbeer.

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 4)
