Sahih Muslim 2085 — Book 9, Hadith 16

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ، بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ 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}‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par ‘Ata’ b. Rabah d’après ‘Aïsha, l’épouse du Messager d’Allah ﷺ : Chaque fois que le vent soufflait fort, le Messager d’Allah ﷺ disait : « Ô Allah ! Je Te demande le bien de ce vent, le bien qu’il contient et le bien pour lequel il a été envoyé. Je cherche refuge auprès de Toi contre le mal de ce vent, le mal qu’il contient et le mal pour lequel il a été envoyé. » Et quand il y avait du tonnerre ou des éclairs dans le ciel, son visage changeait de couleur, il allait et venait, anxieux. Mais quand la pluie tombait, il était soulagé, et je voyais ce soulagement sur son visage. ‘Aïsha lui demanda la raison, et il répondit : « Cela peut être comme ce qu’ont dit les gens de ‘Ad : Lorsque qu’ils ont vu un nuage venir vers leur vallée, ils ont dit : “Voici un nuage qui va nous apporter la pluie.” » (Coran, 46 :)
