3450. Sālim bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar narrated from his father, that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would hear the sound of thunder and lightning bolts, he would say: “O Allāh, do not kill us with Your wrath, and do not destroy us with Your punishment, and pardon us before that (Allāhumma Lā Taqtulnā Bi-Ghadabika Wa Lā Tuhliknā Bi-'Adhābika Wa 'Afinā Qabla Dhalik).” (Ḍa'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb, we do not know it except from this route.
٣٤٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَطَرٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ وَالصَّوَاعِقِ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ» وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Sometimes strong winds, storms and hurricanes prove to be blessings and sometimes they are harmful; similarly clouds, lightening and thunder are signs of Allāh's grandeur and power, therefore one should supplicate according to the need of the time and situation.
