Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

We are not aware of any authentic Hadeeth in which the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, mentioned the name of the wind of Paradise. However, there is a Hadeeth reported about it which the scholars classified as weak.

It is reported by Al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan and also by others that Abu Tharr narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "Allaah created a wind in Paradise seven years after creating the wind. It is behind a closed gate and wind comes to you through that gate, and were that gate to be opened, it would scatter all that is between the heavens and the earth. To Allaah, it is called Al-Azyab, whereas to you, it is the Southern Wind."

Al-Albaani said in As-Silsilah Adh-Dha‘eefah (number 3074) that this Hadeeth is fabricated.

Allaah Knows best.
