حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَسُبُّوا الرِّيحَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَخَيْرِ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرِ مَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِي وَأَنَسٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Ubayy bin Ka'b Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: "Do Not Curse The Wind. When You See What You Dislike, Then Say: 'Allahumma Inna Nas-Aluka Min Khairi Hadhihir-Rih, Wa Khairi Ma Fiha Wa Khairi Ma Umirat Bihi Wa Na'Udhu Bika Min Sharri Hadhihir-Rih Wa Sharri Ma Fiha Wa Sharri Ma Umirat Bihi' ('O Allah! 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.)"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2252
This hadith about wind gives a practical response for a moment people often dislike. The Prophet said, “Do not curse the wind.” Instead, when people see something they dislike, they should make dua. The supplication asks Allah for the good of the wind, the good within it, and the good it has been commanded with. It also seeks refuge in Allah from the evil of the wind, the evil within it, and the evil it has been commanded with. The main teaching is not to respond with insults or anger. A believer turns the moment into dua, asking Allah for good and protection in a balanced way.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet told believers not to curse the wind.
- When the wind is disliked, the response taught is dua.
- The dua asks for the good connected to the wind.
- The dua also seeks refuge from the harm connected to it.
