حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

أَخَذَتِ النَّاسَ الرِّيحُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ وَعُمَرُ حَاجٌّ، فَاشْتَدَّتْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ: مَا الرِّيحُ؟ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعُوا بِشَيْءٍ، فَاسْتَحْثَثْتُ رَاحِلَتِي فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الرِّيحِ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ، تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ، فَلاَ تَسُبُّوهَا، وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا، وَعُوذُوا مِنْ شَرِّهَا».

The wind overtook the people on the road to Mecca while Umar was performing Hajj, and it became severe. Umar said to those around him, “What is the wind?” but they brought back no answer. So I urged my riding animal on until I caught up with him, and I said, “It has reached me that you asked about the wind, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The wind is from the relief of Allah. It comes with mercy and it comes with punishment, so do not curse it; ask Allah for its good, and seek refuge from its evil."”
