Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ نُصِرْتُ بِالصَّبَا، وَأُهْلِكَتْ عَادٌ بِالدَّبُورِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Adam narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from al-Hakam, from Mujahid, from Ibn ʿAbbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘I was aided by the easterly wind, and the people of ʿAd were destroyed by the westerly wind.’

Translation notes
  • The English witness identifies al-Saba as easterly and al-Dabur as westerly winds.
