2252. It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not curse the wind. When you see what you dislike, then say: 'Allāhumma innā nas-aluka min khairi hādhihir-rih, wa khairi mā fihā wa khairi mā umirat bihi wa na'udhu bika min sharri hādhihir-rih wa sharri mā fihā wa sharri mā umirat bihi'" ('O Allāh! Indeed we ask you of the good of
this wind, and the good of what is in it, and the good of what it has been commanded. And we seek refuge in You from the evil of this wind, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been commanded.)" (Hasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Aishah, Abū Hurairah, 'Uthmān bin Abī Al-'Ās, Anas, Ibn 'Abbās and Jābir.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Since the wind only obeys the commands of Allāh and is powerless to do anything of its own, and since its Creator, i.e., Allāh orders it to work good or harm, what we should do is pray and supplicate to Allāh. Cursing the wind is a profitless act, and reviling its Master is sheer impudence and perversity.
