Sahih HadithSahih Muslim 899

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 has been 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 has been 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

(O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what is in it and the goodness of what it has been 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 has been sent with.)
