Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، 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

Muhammad ibn ʿArʿara narrated to me: 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 given victory by the easterly wind, and the people of ʿAd were destroyed by the westerly wind.’
