وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «مَا خَرَجَتْ رِيحٌ قَطُّ إِلاَّ بِمِكْيَالٍ إِلاَّ زَمَنَ عَادٍ فَإِنَّهَا عَتَتْ عَلَى خُزَّانِهَا فَخَرَجَتْ فِي مِثْلِ خَرْقِ اَلْإِبْرَةِ فَأَهْلَكَتْ قَوْمَ عَادٍ وَ مَا نَزَلَ مَطَرٌ قَطُّ إِلاَّ بِوَزْنٍ إِلاَّ زَمَنَ نُوحٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَإِنَّهُ عَتَا عَلَى خُزَّانِهِ فَخَرَجَ فِي مِثْلِ خَرْقِ اَلْإِبْرَةِ فَأَغْرَقَ اَللَّهُ بِهِ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "No wind has ever blown except with a measure, except in the time of the people of ‘Aad, when it became rebellious against its keepers and emerged like the eye of a needle, destroying the people of ‘Aad. And no rain has ever fallen except with a measure, except in the time of Noah (a.s), when it became rebellious against its keepers and emerged like the eye of a needle, and Allah (swt) drowned the people of Noah with it."
