3727. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not curse the wind, for it is from the mercy of Allāh, bringing Rahmah (i.e., rain and breezes), or destruction. But ask Allāh for its goodness, and seek refuge with Allāh from its evil." (Sahih)
3727 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الزُّرَقِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُسُبُّوا الرِّيحَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالْعَذَابِ، وَلَكِنْ سَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا»

The wind is a great blessing of Allāh; human beings cannot live without it. But sometimes this wind itself turns into storm and tempest by the command of Allāh and becomes a cause on of huge destruction. Mercy and torment both are in the Hands of Allāh. So, the hope and fear should both be only with Allāh. Just as cursing human beings is forbidden, similarly, cursing animals or non living things is also an evil act.
