Dua at the time of thunder


Recommended Posts

 

One should recite the following dua at the time of thunder:

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ، وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ

 O Allah, do not kill us due to Your anger, and do not destroy us through Your punishment, and grant us Aafiyat (grant us protection and ease when the calamity comes or take us away from this world) before that (before You send down Your punishment).

عن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمر، عن أبيه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا سمع صوت الرعد والصواعق، قال: اللهم لا تقتلنا بغضبك، ولا تهلكنا بعذابك، وعافنا قبل ذلك (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 3450)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would recite the following dua when he heard thunder and loud thunderbolts:

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ، وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ

At the time of thunder, one should recite the following dua:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ، وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ

Glory be to Allah, the Being whom the thunder glorifies and praises, and also the angels (glorify Him and praise Him) out of His fear.

عن عبد الله بن الزبير: أنه كان إذا سمع الرعد ترك الحديث، وقال: سبحان الله الذي يسبح الرعد بحمده، والملائكة من خيفته، ثم يقول: إن هذا الوعيد لأهل الأرض شديد (السنن الكبرى للبيهقي، الرقم: 6471)

It is reported regarding Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) that when he would hear thunder, he would stop talking and recite the following dua:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ، وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ

 Thereafter, he would say, “Indeed this warning (i.e. the thunder) is very severe for the people of the earth.”
