The Prayer for Eclipses, Earthquakes, Winds, and Oppression and Their Causes
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ كَامِلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالْعُرَيْضِ فَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَجَعَلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اَلتَّكْبِيرَ يَرُدُّ اَلرِّيحَ.
It is narrated from Kamil, who said: "I was with Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام in al-‘Urayd when a strong wind blew. Abu Ja'far عليه السلام began to say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest) repeatedly, and then said: 'Indeed, saying Takbir (Allahu Akbar) repels the wind.'"
