[2085] 15 - (...) It was narrated that 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "If there was a stormy wind, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would say: 'Allāhumma Innī as'aluka khairahā, wa khaira mā fīhā, wa khaira mā ursilat bihi wa a'ūdhu bika min sharrihā, wa sharri mā fīhā, wa sharri mā ursilat bihi' (O Allāh, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of that with which it has been sent, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of that with which it has been sent). If there was thunder and lightening, his color would change, and he would go in and out (of the house) and pace back and forth, then if it rained he would feel relieved. 'Āishah noticed that and asked him. He said: 'Perhaps, O 'Aishah, it is as the people of 'Ad said: Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud bringing us rain!...[1]

15 - (899) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ، قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ»، قَالَتْ: وَإِذَا تَخَيَّلَتِ السَّمَاءُ، تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ، وَخَرَجَ وَدَخَلَ، وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ، فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ، سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: " لَعَلَّهُ، يَا عَائِشَةُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ عَادٍ: {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا} [الأحقاف: 24] "
