When the Strong Winds Blow.. (Hadith No. 843)


Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 843:
Narrated Anas:
Whenever a strong wind blew, anxiety appeared on the face of the Prophet (fearing that wind might be a sign of Allah's wrath).

Strong winds, earthquakes, thunderbolts, hurricanes, floods etc. are all signs of Allah's anger and wrath. What should we feel/do while experiencing them?
Should we ignore and continue with our work? Or should we be scared and worried? How to react?
Prophet (SAW)'s face would show anxiety whenever a strong wind blew. He would make du`a to Allah.
Allaahumma 'innee 'as'aluka khayrahaa, wa 'a'oothu bika min sharrihaa.
"O Allah , I ask You for the good of it and seek refuge in You against its evil."
[Reference: Abu Dawud 4/326, Ibn Majah 2/1228. See also Al-Albani, Sahih Ibn Mjjah 2/305]


Allaahumma 'innee 'as'aluka kthayrahaa, wa khayra maa feehaa, wa khayra maa 'ursilat bihi wa a'oothu bika min sharrihaa, wa sharri maa feehaa, wa sharri maa 'ursilat bihi.
"O Allah, I ask You for the good of it, for the good of what it contains , and for the good of what is sent with it . I seek refuge in You from the evil of it, from the evil of what it contains, and from the evil that is sent with it."
[Reference: Muslim 2/616, Al-Bukhari 4/76]

 Must learn these du`as and recite them whenever needed inshaAllah.
Wassalam.
