punishment, and that there is no difference between them except for mercy and punishment, and that it is one wind, not multiple winds. As for what is mentioned in the ḥadīth of al-Ṭabarānī from Ibn ʿAbbās, raised with the wording: "O Allāh, make it winds and do not make it a single wind." it is false, and al-Ṭaḥāwī said: "It has no basis." It has been authentically reported from Ibn ʿAbbās contrary to this, as I have clarified under the ḥadīth of al-Ṭabarānī presented in the other book: "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (5600).

- "When a strong wind blew, he would say: O Allāh, I ask You for the good of what You have sent with it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You have sent with it." It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (717), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (1/400), and Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (2/763) through various chains from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī from al-Muthanná ibn Saʿīd from Qatādah from Anas who said: and he mentioned it as raised. I say: This isnād is authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs. It has a corroborating narration from ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) as raised: "When he saw a cloud approaching from any horizon, he would leave what he was doing, even if he was in prayer, until he faced it and said: 'O Allāh, we seek refuge in You from the evil of what You have sent with it.' If it rained, he would say: 'O Allāh, [make it] a beneficial downpour' (twice or thrice), and if Allāh cleared it without rain, he would praise Allāh for that." It was recorded by Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (10/218) and from him by Ibn Mājah
