وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع- لِلرِّيحِ رَأْسٌ وَ جَنَاحَانِ‌[1].

Hadith.1517 - Imam Ali (as) said: "The wind has a head and wings."

كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع بِالْعُرَيْضِ فَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَجَعَلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ التَّكْبِيرَ يَرُدُّ الرِّيحَ.

"I was with Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) in al-‘Urayd when a strong wind blew. Abu Ja'far (as) began to say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah (swt) is the Greatest) repeatedly, and then said: 'Indeed, saying Takbir (Allahu Akbar) repels the wind.'"

وَ قَالَ ع‌ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِيحاً إِلَّا رَحْمَةً أَوْ عَذَاباً فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ لَهُ وَ نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ لَهُ وَ كَبِّرُوا وَ ارْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكْسِرُهَا.

Hadith.1519 - Imam (as) said: "Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, does not send any wind except as a mercy or as a punishment. When you see it (the wind), say, 'O’ Allah (swt), we ask You for its good and the good of what it was sent for, and we seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what it was sent for.'

لَا تَسُبُّوا الرِّيَاحَ فَإِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ وَ لَا الْجِبَالَ وَ لَا السَّاعَاتِ وَ لَا الْأَيَّامَ وَ لَا اللَّيَالِيَ فَتَأْثَمُوا وَ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ[3]

وَ قَالَ ع‌ مَا خَرَجَتْ رِيحٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بِمِكْيَالٍ‌[1] إِلَّا زَمَنَ عَادٍ فَإِنَّهَا عَتَتْ عَلَى خُزَّانِهَا فَخَرَجَتْ فِي مِثْلِ خَرْقِ الْإِبْرَةِ فَأَهْلَكَتْ قَوْمَ عَادٍ.

Hadith.1521 - Imam (as) said: "No wind ever blows except in measure, except during the time of the people of ‘Aad, for it broke loose against its keepers and came out like the eye of a needle, destroying the people of ‘Aad."

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الرِّيَاحِ الْأَرْبَعِ الشَّمَالِ وَ الْجَنُوبِ وَ الصَّبَا وَ الدَّبُورِ[3] وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الشَّمَالَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْجَنُوبَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جُنُوداً مِنَ الرِّيحِ يُعَذِّبُ بِهَا مَنْ عَصَاهُ مُوَكَّلٌ بِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مِنْهُنَّ مَلَكٌ مُطَاعٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ قَوْماً بِعَذَابٍ

I asked Abu Ja'far (as) about the four winds—the North wind (Shamal), the South wind (Janub), the East wind (Saba), and the West wind (Dabur). I told him, "The people say that the North wind is from Paradise and the South wind is from Hell." Imam (as) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has armies from

نِعْمَ الرِّيحُ الْجَنُوبُ تَكْسِرُ الْبَرْدَ عَنِ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ تُلْقِحُ الشَّجَرَ وَ تُسِيلُ الْأَوْدِيَةَ[1]

وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع‌ الرِّيَاحُ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْهَا الْعَقِيمُ فَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا.

Hadith.1524 - Imam Ali (as) said: "There are five types of wind, and among them is the barren wind (al-‘aqim), from whose harm we seek refuge in Allah (swt)."

وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ صَفْرَاءُ أَوْ حَمْرَاءُ أَوْ سَوْدَاءُ تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ‌ وَ اصْفَرَّ لَوْنُهُ‌[1] وَ كَانَ كَالْخَائِفِ الْوَجِلِ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ مَطَرٍ فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ لَوْنُهُ وَ يَقُولُ جَاءَتْكُمْ بِالرَّحْمَةِ.

Hadith.1525 - When a yellow, red, or black wind would blow, the Prophet (sw) would become visibly changed—his face would turn pale, and his color would change as if he were fearful and anxious. He would remain in this state until a drop of rain fell from the sky, at which point his color would return, and he would say,

كُلُّ أَخَاوِيفِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ فَزَعٍ فَصَلِّ لَهَا صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى تَسْكُنَ‌[2].

Hadith.1526 - Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that they asked him, "What do you say about these winds and darkness that occur? Should one pray because of them?" Imam (as) said: "For every fear-inducing phenomenon from the sky, be it darkness, wind, or dread, pray the pr

"When an eclipse or any of these celestial signs occurs, perform the prayer (Salat al-Kusuf) as long as you do not fear missing the time of an obligatory prayer. If you fear that the time of the obligatory prayer will pass, then begin with the obligatory prayer and interrupt your Salat al-Kusuf. Once you have completed

Hadith.1528 - It is reported from Ali ibn al-Fadl al-Wasiti that He said: "I wrote to Imam al-Ridha (as) asking about what to do if the sun or moon eclipses while I am riding and unable to dismount. He (as) wrote back to me saying, 'Pray on your mount, whatever you are on.'".

إِنْ كَانَ الْقُرْصَانِ احْتَرَقَا كُلُّهُمَا قَضَيْتَ‌[1] وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا احْتَرَقَ بَعْضُهُمَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ قَضَاؤُهُ‌[2].

Hadith.1529 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim and al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar that they said: "We asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): Should one make up the prayer for an eclipse if he becomes aware of it in the morning or evening after it has occurred? He (as) replied: 'If both discs (the sun and the moon) wer

Hadith.1530 - Al-Halabi asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the prayer for the eclipse (Salat al-Kusuf) of the sun and moon. Imam (as) said: "It consists of ten rak'ahs (units of prayer) and four prostrations (Sujood). You perform five bowings (ruku) and then prostrate (Sujood) in the fifth. Then you perf

Hadith.1531 - Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated: "The Qunoot (supplication) is to be recited in the second rak'ah before bowing (ruku), then in the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth rak'ahs."

Hadith.1532 - Hammad ibn Uthman narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that during a discussion about the eclipse of the moon and the hardship that people endure because of it, He (Imam Al-Sadiq) said: "If a part of it (the moon) has cleared, then it has cleared”.

"If you have an important need from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, then fast for three consecutive days—Wednesday, Thursday, and Jumu’ah.

Hadith.1662 - It is narrated from Dawud ibn Kathir al-Riqqi that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Indeed, all people live off the remnants of the injustice done to us, except that we have made it permissible for our Shia."

كُلُّ ظُلْمٍ إِلْحَادٌ وَ ضَرْبُ الْخَادِمِ فِي غَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْإِلْحَادِ[2].

Hadith.2330 - In a narration from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kinani, from him (Imam Abu Abdullah (as)): "Every act of injustice a person commits against himself in Mecca—be it theft, oppression of someone, or any form of wrongdoing—I consider it to be deviation (ilhad).

Hadith.2436 - Al-Sakuni narrated with his chain of transmission that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "First the companion, then the journey."

كَانَ يَقُولُ‌ اصْحَبْ مَنْ تَتَزَيَّنُ بِهِ‌[5] وَ لَا تَصْحَبْ مَنْ يَتَزَيَّنُ بِكَ.

إِذَا صَحِبْتَ فَاصْحَبْ نَحْوَكَ وَ لَا تَصْحَبْ مَنْ يَكْفِيكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ[3]

وَ رَوَى أَبُو خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ الْبَائِتُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَحْدَهُ شَيْطَانٌ وَ الِاثْنَانِ لُمَةٌ وَ الثَّلَاثَةُ أُنْسٌ‌[4].

"The one who spends the night alone in the house is a devil; two are a gathering of whisperers; and three bring companionship."

أَحَبُّ الصَّحَابَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ مَا زَادَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى سَبْعَةٍ إِلَّا كَثُرَ لَغَطُهُمْ[5]
