Sahih Muslim Book - 9, Hadith - 2085

وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِى رَبَاحٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى 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 سُرِّىَ عَنْهُ فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِى وَجْهِهِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ « لَعَلَّهُ يَا عَائِشَةُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ عَادٍ (فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا) ».

It was narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), said: "If there was a stormy wind, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) would say: 'Allahumma Inni as'aluka khairaha, wa khaira ma fiha, wa khaira ma ursilat bihi wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri maa ursilat bih (O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of that with which it has been sent, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of that with which it has been sent).' If there was thunder and lightening, his color would change, and he would go in and out (of the house) and pace back and forth, then if it rained he would feel relieved. 'Aishah noticed that and asked him. He said: 'Perhaps, O 'Aishah, it is as the people of 'Ad said: Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud bringing us rain!..."
