Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "Whenever a wind blew, the Prophet (ﷺ) would fall to his knees and say: 'O Allah, make it a mercy and do not make it a punishment. O Allah, make it gentle winds and do not make it a destructive wind.' Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'In the Book of Allah, it is mentioned: "Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind" (Qur'an 54:19), "When We sent upon them the barren wind" (Qur'an 51:41), "And We send the fertilizing winds" (Qur'an 15:22), and "And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings" (Qur'an 30:46).'"
