The Shaykh :

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

أمرا من عندنا إنا كنا مرسلين

[Ad-Dukhan 44:5]

This means this great command, this wise command that distinguishes; it is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

إنا كنا مرسلين

[Ad-Dukhan 44:5]

This means that We are the ones who send down the signs, send the messengers, and send the winds. So "senders" here includes everything that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) sends. And Allah the Exalted sends the winds. The evidence? Answer, yes. A verse from the Qur'an that indicates that Allah sends the winds.
The student: ...

The Shaykh :

And We have sent the fertilizing winds

وأرسلنا الرياح لواقح

[Al-Hijr 15:22]

May Allah reward you.

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy

وهو الذي يرسل الرياح بشرا بين يدي رحمته

[Al-A'raf 7:57]

Likewise, He sends the messengers. The evidence.
The student:

We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences

لقد أرسلنا رسلنا بالبينات

[Al-Hadid 57:25]

.

The Shaykh :

We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences

لقد أرسلنا رسلنا بالبينات

[Al-Hadid 57:25]

May Allah reward you. Likewise, He sends the commands; He sends the commands. For Allah the Exalted says:

⁽⁵⁾ He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count. ⁽⁶⁾ That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

يدبر الأمر من السماء إلى الأرض ثم يعرج إليه في يوم كان مقداره ألف سنة مما تعدون ذلك عالم الغيب والشهادة العزيز الرحيم

[As-Sajdah 32:5-6]
