اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ
Allahumma la taqtulna bi-ghadabika wa la tuhlikna bi-'adhabika wa 'afina qabla dhalik
O Allah, do not kill us with Your anger, do not destroy us with Your punishment, and grant us safety before that.
The Prophet ﷺ would say this during severe storms. Storms remind us of the nations destroyed by wind and rain — 'Ad, Thamud, the people of Lut. When the weather turns violent, it is a moment to remember that what we call "natural disasters" are, in the Quran, divine judgments on disobedient peoples. This du'a asks: don't let this storm be that.
