Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Sa'id ibn Abi Maryam narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Ja'far informed us, Humayd informed me that he heard Anas ibn Malik say: Sahih al-Bukhari 1034.
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fear that it might be a punishment. This was during his time and in his generation, and his generation is the best of generations. Yet, he (peace and blessings be upon him) feared that it might be a punishment. For this reason, when he saw clouds approaching, it was known on his face, and he would go out and come back. When people asked him about it, he would say:Sahih Muslim 899c.
The severe wind is that which goes beyond the customary and the usual. As for ordinary winds, they may sometimes be light and sometimes strong, but what is meant by this hadith is the severe wind that goes beyond the customary and the usual. So what does one say when the wind blows severely? One says:Sahih Muslim 899b And if one says: "O Allah, make it winds and do not make it a wind," that is good. This is how one says it, and one says it with sincerity, certainty, and fear. But unfortunately, people now, when their hearts have hardened—may Allah soften our hearts all by His remembrance—when their hearts have hardened, they say these are accidents and storms and the like, matters that they do not describe with the description that it is a punishment. Even if it uproots trees and demolishes buildings, they say these are ordinary storms. May Allah grant us safety.

Yet, he (peace and blessings be upon him) feared that it might be a punishment. For this reason, when he saw clouds approaching, it was known on his face, and he would go out and come back. When people asked him about it, he would say:
I am afraid that there may be a calamity in it, for a people was afflicted with wind
وما يؤمنني أن يكون فيه عذاب، قد عذب قوم بالريحThe severe wind is that which goes beyond the customary and the usual. As for ordinary winds, they may sometimes be light and sometimes strong, but what is meant by this hadith is the severe wind that goes beyond the customary and the usual. So what does one say when the wind blows severely? One says:
