اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its (the wind's) goodness, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it was sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it was sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.

It was narrated from Abu Al-Hasan that Ibn 'Abbas said: I did not hear anyone narrate a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the wind except 'A'ishah. She said: 'When the wind blew, the Prophet ﷺ would say: O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it was sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it was sent with.' (Sahih Muslim 899)
