Remembrance 3 from Chapter 136

Allāhumma innā nas’aluka min khayri hādhihi-r-rīḥ, wa khayri mā fīhā, wa khayri mā umirat bih, wa na‘ūdhu bika min sharri hādhihi-r-rīḥ, wa sharri mā fīhā, wa sharri mā umirat bih.

We relate in the book of at-Tirmidhī and others from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b , who related that the Messenger of Allah said: “Do not curse the wind. If you see something that you dislike, say: O Allah, we ask You for the good of this wind, the good that is in it, and the good that it has been commanded to do; and we ask You for protection from the evil of this wind, the evil that is in it, and the evil that it has been commanded to do.” ^[4].At-Tirmidhī describes this hadith as ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ. Other hadiths, from ‘Ā’ishah , Abū Hurayrah, ‘Uthmān ibn Abī ’l-‘Āṣ, Anas, Ibn ‘Abbās and Jābir , have been related in this chapter.
