4-138 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted Al-Abbas ibn Ma’ruf, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Ali ibn Re’ab and Hisham ibn Salim, on the authority of Abi Basir, “I asked Aba Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) regarding the four winds: the North wind; the South wind; the Eurus wind from the East ; and the Zephyr wind from the West . I told him, ‘The people say that the North wind blows from Paradise and the South wind blows from Hell. He (MGB) replied, ‘The Honorable the Exalted God has troops of winds with which He chastises the disobedient ones which He pleases to chastise. An angel is appointed to each wind. Whenever the Honorable the Exalted God wishes to impose a certain form of chastisement to a nation, He would inspire that appointed angel with what kind of chastisement He wants to be imposed upon them. The angel would issue an order to the wind to blow and the wind will roar like a lion. Each wind has a name. Consider what the Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘The Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?’ And God mentions a wind to torture them as we read, ‘For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster, plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).’ When the people talk of the North wind, the South wind, the Eurus or the Zephyr, they ascribe these winds to their appointed angels.’”
IsnādMuhammad ibn al-Hasan a rapporté: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar a rapporté de Al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf, de Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, de Ali ibn Ri'ab, et de Hisham ibn Salim, de Abi Basir, qui a dit:
J'ai interrogé Aba Ja'far (as) à propos des quatre vents : le nord, le sud, le dabor et le sabâ. Et je lui ai dit : Les gens disent que le nord est du Paradis et le sud est de l'Enfer. Il a répondu : Certes, Allah (swt) a des troupes de vents avec lesquels Il châtie qui Il veut parmi ceux qui Lui désobéissent. Chaque vent a un ange qui lui est assigné. Lorsqu'Allah (swt) veut punir un peuple avec un certain type de châtiment, Il inspire à l'ange assigné à ce vent le châtiment qu'Il veut leur infliger. Il lui ordonne alors, et ce vent se met en colère comme un lion enragé. Chaque vent a un nom. Comme vous entendez la parole d'Allah (swt) : "Les Aad ont traité de mensonges, alors, quelle fut Ma vengeance et Mon avertissement ?" et Il mentionne les vents dans le châtiment. Puis il a dit : Le vent du nord, le vent du sabâ, le vent du sud, et le vent du dabor sont également ajoutés aux anges qui leur sont assignés.
